Parasitic nutrition is a mode of heterotrophicnutrition where a parasitic organism lives on the body surface or inside the body of another type of organism (a host) and gets nutritiondirectly from the body of the host
Parasites require nutrients to carry out essential functions including reproduction and growth. Essentially, the nutrients required from the host are carbohydrates, amino acids and lipids. Carbohydrates are utilised to generate energy, whilst amino acids and fatty acids are involved in the synthesis of macromolecules and the production of eggs.Most parasites are heterotrophs, so they therefore are unable to synthesise their own 'food' i.e. organic compounds and must acquire these from their host.
