Difference between parasite and symbionts
  • 1 answers

Yogita Ingle 7 years, 7 months ago

Symbiosis refers to a long period interaction between two different species.  In some cases, both species benefit from the interaction and this becomes mutualism. The larger organism is considered a host because, in a symbiotic relationship, it is the larger organism upon or inside of which the smaller organism lives. The smaller organism is considered to be a symbiont, that lives in or on the host.
Parasitism is the type of symbiotic relationship or long-term relationship between any two species either plants or animals. Here the parasite gains benefits by the host which in turn causing harm without killing the host organism.
