Question

differentiate between 1. parasite and saprotroph 2. insectivorous and symbiotec organism

Answer 1

differentiate between:

1. parasite and saprotroph

The organism that grows on the body of another organism and derives nutrients from it is known as aparasite. The organism that obtains nutrients from the dead or decaying organic matter is called saprotroph.

2. insectivorous and symbiotic organism

Insectivorous plants depend on insects in order to fulfil their nitrogen requirement while symbiotic plants maintain relationships such as mutualism, commensalism or parasitism. The main difference between insectivorous plants andsymbiotic plants is the type ofrelationship maintained by plants with other organisms.

Answer 2

parasite = parasite are organisms that live on another organism and depends partialy on it

saprophyte= an organism that feeds on dead and decaying organic matter is called saprophyte  

insectivores = plants that depend on insects for nitrogen is called insetivorous plants

symbiotic = a relation ship in which two organisms may actually benefit from each other or only one is benefited or harmed
