Question

what is difference between a complete parasite and a partial parasite. Give examples of each.

Answer 1

Total parasitic plants are those which are fully dependent on their hosts for growth and survival. Total parasitic plants are usually achlorophyllous. Cuscuta reflexa, Orobanche aegyptiaca, Striga asiatica etc. are the examples of total parasitic plants.

Partial parasites are those which are partially dependent on their hosts. Partial parasitic plants are usually chlorophyllous therefore they are dependent on their hosts for water and nutrients only. Rest of the job is being done by their green leaves. Dendropthoe falcata, Viscum album, Santalum album etc. are the examples of partial parasites.
