A parasite by definition is a living organism that lives at the expense of another organism (the host). This could help to answer your question.
Parasites can have a sexual or asexual reproduction (or both of them). So we have two types of hosts: 
Intermediate host: It helps parasites to grow in number and have an asexual reproduction.
Definitive host: It helps parasites to fertilize (having sexual reproduction).

Let's take the example of Plasmodium (responsible for malaria), the definitive host (the anophele) contributes to transmitting the parasite to the human. without it, the Plasmodium cannot be transmitted to humans (intermediate host) to reproduce. And without humans, it cannot reproduce too, because this is where the parasite takes its resources (from red blood cells).
So, we can see that hosts have a major role in parasites reproduction.

Which is not a result of increased flexibility
jek_recluse [69]

The answer is: decreased circulation


Increased flexibility tend to be achieved by implementing stretching exercise. When we stretch, we would improve our blood circulation because the movement help the blood to flow in different type of direction. In the long run, exercises to increase flexibility would have positive benefit for our cardiovascular system.

Give three instantaneous scale (time) examples of Earth's systems, two long-term scale (time) examples of Earth's sytems, and th
Goshia [24]

The Earth comprises many spheres of subsystems, which associate with each other to develop a composite and spontaneously changing system of the Earth. The processes taking place in the system of the Earth occurs on spatial scales changing from fractions of millimeters to thousands of kilometers, and on time scales, which varies from milliseconds to billions of years.  

The examples of instantaneous scales are a rotation of the Earth, breathing, an earthquake.  

The examples of long-term scales are making coal and plate tectonics.  

The system of the Earth is featured by various overlapping cycles in which matter is recycled again and again. The cycles involve interactions between multiple spheres and systems. The examples of cycles are rock cycle, day and night, and seasons.  

Volcanoes discharge a huge concentration of particulate matter into the atmosphere. These particles function as nuclei for the development of droplets of water (hydrosphere). The rainfall, that is, hydrosphere usually upsurges after an eruption, initiating growth of the plant (biosphere). Thus, volcanoes and volcanic activities are a good illustration of system interactions.

Start with the temperature at 25 ºC and the pH at 7. Do not vary these parameters while testing for substrate (Initial Lactose)
UNO [17]

Answer:

The results show that the increase in the substrate concentration is increasing the rate of the reaction. We can see that the reaction rate has increased to 2.88mM/min. After this even if we increase the substrate concentration
