Parasitic mode of nutrition is a type of nutrition in which an organism (parasite) lives in or on another organism (host) and obtains nutrients from it.

The following organisms have a parasitic mode of nutrition:

  • Tapeworms: Tapeworms are long, flatworm parasites that live in the intestines of animals, including humans. They absorb nutrients from the host’s food as it passes through the digestive system.
  • Fleas: Fleas are small, wingless insects that feed on the blood of mammals and birds. They use their sharp mouthparts to penetrate the skin of the host and suck blood, which provides them with nutrients.
  • Ticks: Ticks are arachnids that feed on the blood of mammals, birds, and reptiles. They attach themselves to the skin of the host and suck blood, which provides them with nutrients.
  • Head lice: Head lice are tiny insects that live on the scalp and feed on human blood. They use their sharp mouthparts to bite into the skin and suck blood, which provides them with nutrients.
  • Malaria parasites: Malaria parasites are single-celled organisms that live in the bloodstream of humans and other animals. They feed on the host’s blood cells, which provides them with nutrients.

These are just a few examples of organisms with parasitic mode of nutrition. There are many other organisms that exhibit this type of nutrition.
