Will give brainliest!

Answer 1

Answer:

Both predation and parasitism are harmful interactions. ... In parasitism, the active organism is called the parasite and the passive organism is the host. The main difference between predation and parasitism is that the predator immediately kills the prey in predation whereas parasite does not kill the host organism.A parasite is generally a smaller organism that lives at the expense of a larger organism. ... Parasites are usually host-specific. A predator could be smaller or larger than the prey, but its action is to kill the prey in order to consume it for its own growth.

Answer 2

Answer:

Parasitism and predation is an antagonistic interaction seen between two species where one is affected and the other species get the benefits. Parasitism involves interaction between a parasite and host, where the parasite is beneficial (obtaining food and shelter) and causes harm to the host (parasite causes diseases in the host). On the other hand, predation is an interaction involving a predator and prey, where the predator (beneficiary) feeds on the prey for its nutrition requirement hence, killing the prey (affected species).
