Answer to Question 1

A host is the organism on which or within which the parasite lives and from which it derives its sustenance
(food or nourishment). An intermediate host is a host that a parasitic organism lives on or in during an
immature stage.

Answer to Question 2

Parasites are organisms that live on or within another organism or host and derive their sustenance (food or
nourishment) from the host.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
