Question

Parasites undergo holozoic nutrition.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B

False

Parasites are heterotrophs with a different type of nutrition process. Parasitic nutrition is a mode of heterotrophic nutrition where a parasitic organism lives on the body surface or inside the body of another type of organism (a host) and gets nutrition directly from the body of the host. Hence it does not have to undergo the five-step holozoic nutrition process like humans and other animals do.
