Question

Give any ‘two’ types with suitable example of Parasitism.

Answer 1

1. Ectoparasites: Parasites that live on the outer surface of the host are called ectoparasites. Examples include fleas, mosquitoes, and lice.
2. Endoparasites: Parasites that live inside the body of the host are known as endoparasites, such as flatworms and tapeworms. Endoparasites are of two types: intercellular and intracellular. Intercellular endoparasites live in the spaces between cells, while intracellular endoparasites live inside the cells of the host.
