Question

what are some of the differences between a predator   and a parasite ?

anonymous · Answer

predator - an animal that preys on others
parasite - lives in other organism (its host) and benefits nutrients.

Yeah, that's right. Parasites are usually much smaller than their hosts. 

Parasitism is a type of "symbiosis." 

"Symbiosis" is a long term relationship between two or more species. 

On the other hand, I don't think that the relationship between a predator and its prey is often very long term.
