<h2>GIVE ME BRAINLIEST.</h2>

Parasitism is defined as a relationship between two species in which one organism (parasite) lives on or within the other organism (host), causing the host some degree of harm. A parasite reduces its host's fitness but increases its own fitness, usually by gaining food and shelter.

Answer: a parasitism is: the practice of living as a parasite in or on another organism.

Parasitism is the interaction between two species where only one benefits from the other organism and the other is harmed in return. The one that benefits from the other organism is called a parasite, while the organism that is being harmed is called a host.

Explain why a signal cascade can be useful in certain cell processes
natima [27]
A signal cascade is a series of chemical reactions which are triggered by a stimulus acting on a receptor that is then transduced to the intracellular space through second messengers. Finally, effector molecules receive the signal causing a cellular reaction to the initial stimulus. A signal cascade is very useful because it facilitates and accelerates the communication between cells that could be in different parts of a living organism. This communication is vital for cell processes in complex multicellular organisms.
