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.
To be simple:The flea is the parasite and the dog is the host.
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.
The host provides shelter or food or even protection for a parasite. The parasite uses the host for food, etc.
A parasite needs a host to live in, typically a living one. A pest, on the other hand, is just something that makes you uncomfortable.
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).
An internal parasite feeds with his entire body inside the surface (epithelium, for animals) of the host, while an external parasite feeds with part of, or whole body standing outside the host's surface.
Life line a parasite canot exist with out a host.
The relationship between a flea and cat's fur is that of parasite and host. The flea is a parasite that feeds on the blood of the host.
a parasite feeds from the host. sometimes making the host die.
parasite/host
A host organism provides a habitat for a parasite, allowing it to live, feed, and reproduce at the expense of the host's own resources and well-being. The relationship between a parasite and its host is often harmful to the host organism.
It harms a parasite to have its host die because the host is what the parasite depends on. If the host dies then the parasite will have nothing to depend on and die.
