Answer:
Parasitic
Explanation:
The plants that are described are typical example of parasitic plants. These types of plants have a parasitic relationship with the other plants, at least with the ones that they can use. In order for them to grow, survive, and prosper, these plants need a host plant. They attach to the host plant's steam with their miniature claw like organs, and use them for support to grow upwards, but also to extract nutrients from the host plant. While this leads to to parasitic plant's survival and prospering, the host plant is suffering, and gradually the parasitic plant will suck every nutrient out of the host plant and kill it. Without a host plant, these plants would find it extremely hard to survive, and the chances are very high that they will die because they are not well suited to get nutrient on their own.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Passive transport<span> is a movement of </span>biochemicals<span> and other </span>atomic<span> or </span>molecular<span> substances across </span>cell membranes through <span>concentration gradients</span><span> without need of </span>energy<span> input. Unlike </span>active transport<span>, it does not require an input of cellular energy because it is instead driven by the tendency of the system to grow in </span>entropy<span>. The rate of passive transport depends on the </span>permeability<span> of the cell membrane, which, in turn, depends on the organization and characteristics of the membrane </span>lipids<span> and </span>proteins<span>. The four main kinds of passive transport are simple </span>diffusion<span>, </span>facilitated diffusion<span>, </span>filtration<span>, and </span>osmosis.
