Answer 2

Answer:

Parasite :

A parasite is an organism that lives on or in a host organism and gets its food from or at the expense of its host. ... They are able to multiply in humans, which contributes to their survival and also permits serious infections to develop from just a single organism.

Saprotroph :

Saprotrophs secrete digestive juices onto dead and decaying matter to dissolve it and then absorb nutrients from it. Fungi are saprotrophs. Rhizopus, asperigillus, mushrooms are some of the examples of saprotrophs. These are organisms grow and depend on dead and decaying matter.

Difference :

Parasite :

• Parasite lives on a living organism
• It lives on a living source known as the host for its nutritional requirements.
• A few examples of parasites are tapeworms, fleas, and barnacles etc.

Saprotroph :

• Saprophyte lives on dead and decaying matter.
• It lives on dead and decaying matter for its nutritional requirements.
• Bacteria, fungi, and fungus-like organisms are examples of saprotrophs.
