Examples of parasitism

This innocent looking bird called a cowbird lays her eggs in another birds nest and expects the unsuspecting mom to raise their young. If this bird kicks her eggs out of the nest the cowbird may destroy her nest. This is just one example of parasitism.

Parasitism is a symbiotic relationship in which one organism benefits and another organism is harmed and in some cases may die.
Let’s take a look at examples

Mosquitoes These annoying pests will show up at most picnics and start trying to have a meal at your expense. mosquitoes are carriers, or vectors, for some of humanity’s most deadly illnesses, and they are public enemy number one in the fight against global infectious disease. Mosquito-borne diseases cause millions of deaths worldwide
In a similar fashion, ticks will do the same to you, dogs, livestock. The latch on to their host and start eating. Ticks can infect their host with many diseases including Lyme disease.

Many worms are parasitic.
Leech
A leech is a segmented worm that attaches to a host like you and gets a meal from their blood. They secrete a chemical that actually prevents the blood from clotting.
If present in great numbers on a host, these can be debilitating, and in extreme cases, cause death.

E. coli
There are hundreds of different types, or strains, of the bacteria E. coli (Escherichia coli). Most of these are harmless and live in the intestines of healthy people and animals. But some strains of E. coli make a strong toxin that can cause a severe infection.

Mistletoe This plant you will see high in trees is actually a parasite. Mistletoe will attach to their host tree or shrub and then extract water and nutrients from the host plant.

The atmosphere can be divided into four individuals layers separated by changes in air temperature. These layers are the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere.

Each layer is classified according to the temperature. As you gain elevation in the troposphere the temperature drops. The temperature range is from around 15 degrees celsius to negative 45 to 50 celsius at the top
The temperature of the stratosphere actually gets warmer with elevation and ranges from minus 45 to 50 degrees celsius at the bottom to 0 degrees celsius at the top.
The mesosphere is similar to the troposphere and the temperature decreases with elevation.
The temperature ranges from 0 degrees celsius to negative 90 degrees celsius at the top.
Finally, the thermosphere gets warmer with elevation. The temperature ranges from negative 90 degrees at the bottom to over 1500 degrees celsius at the very top

As you move from the troposphere to the thermosphere the atmospheric pressure decreases.
As you go up in elevation the atmospheric pressure decreases and as you down in elevation the atmospheric pressure increases.
In 2012 Felix Baumgartner completed a freefall parachute jump from the stratosphere. During this jump, he reached speeds of over 800 miles per hour and broke the sound barrier. He was able to reach speed because the atmospheric is so thin there was very little friction to slow him down.
