it depends upon what parasite and what host.
examples:
1. the phorid fly and leaf cutter ant; the larvae of fly eats the ant from the inside
2. misquito and homans; female misquito injest blood for protein
3. ticks and humans; ticks can give us lyme disease
parasites
Kingdom Animalia is exclusively heterotrophic and includes many predators and parasites. Animals in this kingdom obtain their nutrients by consuming other organisms. Predators hunt and consume other organisms for food, while parasites live off other organisms, often causing harm in the process.
Partial parasites are organisms that derive some but not all of their nutrients from a host organism. They may still photosynthesize or obtain some nutrients through other means, but rely on a host for certain essential resources. Examples include mistletoe plants that photosynthesize but depend on a host tree for water and minerals.
Clams are not parasites. Clams are a type of bivalve mollusk that feed by filtering particles from water using their gills. They are not known to rely on other organisms for sustenance like parasites do.
parasites
Organisms depend on each other for food and shelter. For example, herbivores depend on plants for food, while plants depend on herbivores for pollination. Organisms also depend on each other for protection, such as cleaner fish removing parasites from larger fish in a mutualistic relationship.
Parasites
Parasites and predators are both organisms that consume other organisms for survival. However, parasites typically live on or inside their host, feeding on its tissues without immediately killing it, while predators actively hunt and kill their prey. Both parasites and predators play important roles in regulating populations in ecosystems.
Organisms that depend on the food energy stored in other living organisms are called heterotrophs. These organisms cannot produce their own food and rely on consuming other organisms to obtain energy for survival. Examples include animals, fungi, and some types of bacteria.
Parasitology is the study of parasites, which are organisms which obtain nourishment and protection from other living organisms. Parasitology is closely related to cell biology, biochemistry, and ecology.
Parasites.
Parasites are organisms that feed off of other organisms. they Benefit while the other is harmed. Mitosis is the division of cells. They are totally different.
