Summary
Hemoglobin Digestion
is a process primarily occurring in
Blood-feeding parasites
, like
Plasmodium Species
, where hemoglobin from the host's red blood cells is broken down to release
Amino Acids
and heme. This process is crucial for the
Parasite's survival
and growth, but also generates
Toxic heme
, which the parasite detoxifies or sequesters to avoid damage.
