A virus is a small infectious agent that can only replicate inside the living cells of an organism. A host is an organism that provides nourishment and a habitat for another organism. A parasite is an organism that lives on or inside another organism (the host) and benefits at the host's expense.
Viruses are infectious agents that require a host cell to replicate, while parasites are organisms that live in or on another organism and derive nutrients at the host's expense. Viruses are much smaller and simpler than parasites, and they replicate by hijacking the host cell's machinery. Parasites can be multicellular organisms like worms or single-celled organisms like protozoa.
A virus is a parasite that relies on a host cell for energy. It cannot produce its own energy and instead hijacks the metabolic processes of the host cell to replicate itself.
A host is an organism that the parasite lives on. In other words the parasite may use the host's resources in a negative way. For example: A tick living off the blood of a human. The tick is the parasite and the human is the host. The tick lives off the blood of the human.
A parasite is an organism that lives on or inside another organism (host) and feeds off it without necessarily killing it, while a predator is an organism that hunts, kills, and consumes other organisms for food. Parasites rely on their host for survival, while predators actively hunt and kill their prey.
A paratenic host is an organism that can harbor a parasite without the parasite undergoing any development or multiplication. The parasite remains in a dormant state until the paratenic host is consumed by the definitive host, where the parasite can then continue its life cycle. This allows the parasite to be transmitted to the definitive host through the paratenic host.
The host provides shelter or food or even protection for a parasite. The parasite uses the host for food, etc.

A host.
an obligate intercellular parasite is a parasite that depend on its host to survive, an example would be a virus which depends on its host's metapolic activities and synthesis processes to replicate
host to the virus, parasite off anyone that will bring you porn, whiskey, and pizza in bed for the rest of the week. that's ridiculus but yes your the host. :~)
yes, because the parasite is taking from the host and the host is not getting anything from it (unless the parasite is taking bad things from the host, which would mean it depends on the species of parasite).
A parasite is an organism that lives in or on another organism (the host) and benefits from the relationship at the expense of the host. Bacteria and viruses can both be parasites, depending on their interactions with the host organism.
Viruses are similar to parasites because both require a host to survive and both destroy the cells in which they multiply (cause harm to the host).
a virus can ony reproduce inside a living cell that surves as a host. A Host is living thing that a virus or parasite lives on or in . Using a host's cell as a tiny factory , the virus forces the host to make viruses rather than healthy new cells.
Life line a parasite canot exist with out a host.
A parasite is an organism that lives in or on a host cell. Parasites rely on the host for nutrients and can cause harm to the host they live in. Examples include Plasmodium, the parasite that causes malaria, and tapeworms.
Im assuming that you havent ever even hear the definition of parasite or host, but the HOST is what the PARASITE LIVES ON . aka it means the parisite takes everything it needs from the host.
