Concept explainers

Parasitic infections

A parasite is an organism that lives in the body of another organism and obtains food at the expense of the host. There are two kinds of parasites they are internal and external. An internal parasite lives inside another organism and is known as endoparasite. An external parasite lives on the body surface of the host and is known as an ectoparasite.

Question

Many biologists consider a lichen an example of controlled parasitism. In this view, which component is the likely parasite, and which is the likely host?
