Question
which of the following can be further classified as protozoa, helminths, and ectoparasite? parasites bacteria viruses fungi
Parasites are organisms that live on or in another organism (the host) and derive benefit at the host's expense. Protozoa are single - celled eukaryotic parasites (e.g., Plasmodium which causes malaria). Helminths are multicellular parasitic worms (e.g., tapeworms). Ectoparasites are parasites that live on the surface of the host (e.g., lice). Bacteria are single - celled prokaryotic organisms, viruses are acellular infectious agents, and fungi are a separate kingdom of eukaryotic organisms (e.g., yeasts, molds) which do not fit into the protozoa - helminths - ectoparasite classification in the context of this question.
