Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Parasites that are dependent on the host for completing their life cycle are called obligate parasites; they cannot survive independently without the host, hence they do not have their own metabolic mechanism and cannot reproduce without the presence of host machinery.
Detailed explanation-2: -An obligate parasite is a parasitic organism that is not able to complete its life cycle without exploitation of suitable host. They can grow within a living cell only. They must live parasitically on the host and they die when the host dies.
Detailed explanation-3: -Viruses are obligate parasites in that they can only replicate within a living host cell.
