Does the enzyme pepsin have co-enzymes?

no

Explanation: the digestive enzyme pepsin is an example of the class of enzymes known as aspartyl proteases. Proteases are enzymes that hydrolyze peptide bonds. Aspartyl proteases use two aspartate groups in the active site to cleave the bond.

parasites can detrimentally affect their host, but also must not allow their host to die before they can complete their life cycle. some parasites have complex life cycles with many different hosts, and have had to find ways of persisting in many different environments during the change from one host to another. ectoparasites live outside the body of the host, and can more easily  disperse, but are  more exposed to predators, parasites, parasitoids. endoparasites live inside the body of the host, and are therefore protected from the outside environment. but they can be  attacked by the host's immune system. they have therefore developed  mechanisms for dispersal such as  complex life cycles.
