which of these is a difference between parasites and predators?

Explanation: 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.

The parasite obtains food and shelter from the host. Parasitism mode of life ensures food lodging and meals. PREDATION (+/-) is a a relationship between a Predator and a Prey in which the predator is a free living organism which catches and kills another species for food. They do not get shelter from prey.

Predation often leads to an increase in the population size of the predator and a decrease in the population size of the prey. However, if the size of a prey population gets too small, many of the predators may not have enough food to eat and will die.

Lice and ticks are parasites. Lice are small wingless insects that feed on dead skin or blood of hosts where as ticks are small arachnids that feed on the blood of mammals, birds and some reptiles. There are three lice species that are known to be disease agents in humans.

Keystone species are often predators, but not always apex predators. Instead, they are usually secondary consumers. Sea stars, while voracious predators of mussels and barnacles, for example, are a prey species for sea anemones and fishes.

Parasitism is a symbiotic relationship in which one species (the parasite) benefits while the other species (the host) is harmed. Many species of animals are parasites, at least during some stage of their life. Most species are also hosts to one or more parasites.

Predators of Juveniles Juvenile and mature dragonflies have different sets of predators. In the aquatic larval stage, their primary predators are ducks, amphibians such as toads and newts, fish and bigger damselfly and dragonfly larvae.

Parasitism is similar to predation in terms of the signs of the interaction coefficients between the two populations, but parasitism differs from predation in that members of the species affected detrimentally (the "host") are seldom killed outright but may live on for some time after becoming parasitized.

Parasites are adapted so that they receive maximum benefit from the host but do not kill them. Tapeworms have many adaptations such as strong suckers and hooks for attachment to the lining of the small intestine. Tapeworms are thin and flattened and have a very large surface area for absorption of nutrients.

Wasps are very defensive and their sting can be deadly for some people. Most wasps are predators and feed on other insects. Wasps usually sting humans but will also bite people if they feel threatened.

Mutualism is the interaction between two or more organisms where both organisms can benefit from the interaction. An example of mutualism is a Clownfish and a Sea Anemone. ... Parasitism is the interaction between two species where only one benefits from the other organism and the other is harmed in return.

The big difference between the two is the way the get their food. A mushroom feed on dead organic matter while a tick feed on a living host. Saprophytes are plants while parasites can be plants or animals. ... The organism, which depends upon other organism for its nourishment and growth, is known as parasite.

More formally, the niche includes how a population responds to the abundance of its resources and enemies (e. g., by growing when resources are abundant, and predators, parasites and pathogens are scarce) and how it affects those same factors (e. g., by reducing the abundance of resources through consumption and ...

A predator is an organism that eats another organism. The prey is the organism which the predator eats. Some examples of predator and prey are lion and zebra, bear and fish, and fox and rabbit.

External parasites live outside the pet's body, while internal parasites live inside the body and can affect the intestinal tract and other organs.

No. The perceived difference is due to the prey not expecting to be preyed upon. The predator isn't smarter, the predator employs a tactic that is a "sucker punch" of surprise. In fact, due to the survival rates of the prey (they aren't extinct), it indicates the prey are smarter than the predators.
