PARISITISM

SYMBIOSIS | COMMENSALISM | MUTUALISM | PARISITISM | AMENSALISM | COEVOLUTION = = =Parasitism= Parasitism is a type of symbiotic relationship between two different organisms. One common type of symbionic reaction is that between a parasitic creature and its host. These reactions are classified by the host recieving damage from the parasite. Parasites are much smaller than their hosts, and reproduce more quickly and in greater numbers than the hosts they acompany. There are two different types of parasites called endoparasites and ectoparasties. Endoparasties can be intercellular, inhabiting spaces in the host’s body, or intracellular, inhabiting cells in the host’s body. Ectoparasites live on the surface of the host.
