It is a protozoan that is the causal agent of malaria, which is responsible for killing as many 855,000 people in 2013, the majority of them being children.

How might mosquito density, and thereby human mortality, be affected by patterns of rainfall?arrow_forward
- A) Commensalism D) Competition B) Mutualism E) Predation C) Parasitism Although termites can physically chew and ingest wood, they are incapable of chemically digesting the wood. Inside of the termite is an intestinal flagellate that secretes the enzymes necessary for the termite to digest the wood. The flagellates live only inside in the hindgut of termites. Barnacles create home sites by attaching themselves to whale. This relationship neither harms nor benefits the whale. Tapeworms, for example, live inside the intestines of humans and farm animals. They obtain digested food and shelter from their hosts. Hence, the hosts are likely to suffer from malnutrition. The stork uses its saw-like bill to cut up the dead animals it eats. As a result, the dead animal carcass is accessible to some bees for food and egg laying. The relationship neither harms nor benefits the stork. Honey guide birds alert and direct badgers to bee hives. The badgers then expose the hives and feed on the honey…arrow_forwardCrown-of-thorns starfish (often abbreviated as COTS; Acanthaster planci) is one of the largest sea stars in the world.
