Which of the following statements is true? Parasites benefit their hosts. Parasitism causes both the parasite and host to adapt

and evolve. All parasites stay with their host until the host dies. Phoresy is a special type of parasitism in which the host kills the parasite.

Parasites benefit their hosts is the true statement. Parasitism is a symbiotic relationship in which one organism (the parasite) benefits from another organism and this other organism is harmed by the parasite.
The others aren't true because:
- the organism that is harmed doesn'y adapt and evolve it still is vulnerable
- it is a fact that parasites change from hosts
- phoresy is an association between two species in which one transports the other. This does not include killing the host (is possible, but it is not a condition under which you can call something a phoresy).

Answer: Parasitism causes both the parasite and host to adapt and evolve.

Explanation:

A parasitism is a kind of symbiotic relationship in which two species lives in close association. In this association one species is benefited by harming the other species so as to derive nourishment and shelter. The species which causes harm is called as the parasite the species which is being harmed is called as host.

In parasitism the parasitic as well as the host species evolve together. The parasite is adapted to live in the host body in adverse conditions too. Also the host is adapted to get rid from the parasite and attain a protection from the parasitic damage. Some host build symbiotic mutualistic association with other species to get rid from parasites. The Ladybugs live on the plants, eating the aphids and benefiting by obtaining food, on the other hand the plants are getting rid of aphids (parasites).

For both ectotherms and endotherms, metabolic rate tends to increase as mass increases

As the masses of the dinosaurs increase, how do their metabolic rates change? How does this compare to living animals?

>> As with living animals, the higher a dinosaur’s mass, the higher its metabolic rate.

What causes reversal of biochemical reactions?
Alexxandr [17]

A and B can react to form C and D or, in the reverse reaction, C and D can react to form A and B. This is distinct from reversible process in thermodynamics.

Weak acids and bases undertake reversible reactions. For example, carbonic acid: H2CO3 (l) + H2O(l) ⇌ HCO−3 (aq) + H3O+(aq).

The concentrations of reactants and products in an equilibrium mixture are determined by the analytical concentrations of the reagents (A and B or C and D) and the equilibrium constant, K. The magnitude of the equilibrium constant depends on the Gibbs free energy change for the reaction.[2] So, when the free energy change is large (more than about 30 kJ mol−1), then the equilibrium constant is large (log K > 3) and the concentrations of the reactants at equilibrium are very small. Such a reaction is sometimes considered to be an irreversible reaction, although in reality small amounts of the reactants are still expected to be present in the reacting system. A truly irreversible chemical reaction is usually achieved when one of the products exits the reacting system, for example, as does carbon dioxide (volatile) in the reaction
