differentiate between total parasitic and partial parasitic plants with one example.
Answers
Answer:
The main difference between total parasite and partial parasite is that the total parasite totally depends on the host for its growth, survival, and reproduction whereas the partial parasite depends on the host only for a certain requirement of their life such as water and shelter.Cuscuta reflexa, Orobanche aegyptiaca, Striga asiatica etc. are the examples of total parasitic plants. Santalum album, Striga asiatica and Viscum album are the examples of partial parasites.
