Question

Name one each of a) totally
parasitic b) partial parasitic plants.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Total parasitic plants are the heterotrophic plants which completely depends on the host plant for their all requirements include shelter, water, food. They are achlorophyllus so they are unable to prepare their own food. Best example is Cuscuta and is complete stem parasite.

Partially parasitic plants are also called as hemiparasitic plants. These are partially parasitic as they depend on the host plants for nourishment under some conditions. Sometimes, they perform photosynthesis in order to obtain nourishment. In these conditions, partially parasitic plant obtains water and minerals from the host and synthesises its own food. e.g. Nuytsia floribunda, Rhinanthus.
