Question

Compare and contrast a predator- prey relationship and a parasitic relationship

Answer 1

In predation, the predator immediately kills the prey while in parasitism, the parasite does not kill the host organism. ... On the other hand, a parasite is smaller than the host organism. The main difference between predation and parasitism is the type of relationship between the individuals of the two species

Answer 2

Answer:

Hey Queen Messy here!

The predator prey relationship consists of the interactions between two species and their consequent effects on each other. In the predator prey relationship, one species is feeding on the other species. The prey species is the animal being fed on, and the predator is the animal being fed. The predator prey relationship develops over time as many generations of each species interact. In doing so, they affect the success and survival of each other’s species. The process of evolution selects for adaptations which increase the fitness of each population. Scientists studying population dynamics, or changes in populations over time, have noticed that predator prey relationships greatly affect the populations of each species, and that because of the predator prey relationship, these population fluctuations are linked.
