A chemical produced by one organism to kill another is called a "secondary metabolite" or more specifically, a "toxin." These compounds can serve various ecological roles, including defense against predators and competition with other species. Examples include antibiotics produced by fungi or plants that inhibit the growth of bacteria.

What is an organism that feeds on the body fluids of another organism but does not kill it called?
That's called a parasite.
What is more toxic 3 ppm or 0.03 ppm?
A chemical with a toxic level of 0.03 ppm is more toxic because heavy metals with high density are toxic to organisms at low concentrations. In other words, it only took 0.03 ppm of the chemical to kill an organism, while the other chemical would have to take up to 3 ppm in order to kill the same organism. Which one is more toxic?

What can an organism do while living in an organism?
An organism can perform various functions to survive and thrive within its environment, such as obtaining nutrients, reproducing, growing, and responding to stimuli. It can also interact with other organisms, either in a cooperative or competitive manner, to ensure its survival. Additionally, organisms may adapt to changes in their environment through processes like evolution or behavior modification.
A organism living in or on another organism?
The term used for an organism living in or on another depends on the nature of the relationship.- If the relationship is mutually beneficial (mutalism) then the organism can be called a symbiont.- If the relationship does not benefit the host, the organism can be called a parasite.Parasites can be endoparasites, which live inside the host, or ectoparasites, which live on the host.Some biologists use the term symbiont for any organism in a close interaction with another. This would mean parasites could also be called symbionts.

What organism depends entirely on another living organism for it's existence in a way that harms the other organism?
A parasitic organism, such as a tick or tapeworm, depends entirely on another living organism for its existence by feeding off of it and causing harm to the host organism in the process. Parasites can weaken or even kill their host, ultimately reducing the host's chances of survival.
