I'm doing my bio hw and I cannot seem to find the answer on google. So here I am once again :3
Naturally you cannot find anythig because Hookworm is neither!
Hookworm is multicellular organism, a WORM.
http://www.metapathogen.com/hookworm/humanhookworm...
It belongs to phylum Nematoda.
It is parasitic helminth. Examples of other parasitic helminths: http://www.metapathogen.com/helminths/
Bacteria and protozoa are both unicellular organisms.
Example of bacteria: http://www.metapathogen.com/bacterial-pathogens/
Protozoa and fungi and hookworms are eukaryotes. This is the most important shared characteristic but in most other aspects they are completely different.
Example of protozoa: http://www.metapathogen.com/protozoan-pathogens/in...
Fungi belong to different KINGDOM.
Examples of fungi: http://www.metapathogen.com/fungal-pathogens/
Viruses are COMPLTELY DIFFERENT life forms.
Hookworm is too large to be a virus or bacteria. It's definitely not a fungi since it is parasitic nematode (a nasty little worm-like thing).
I would definitely say a protozoa
