What are different point s between microprocessor and micro-controller?

Microprocessor = CPU
Microcontroller = CPU+peripherals+memory
A CPU cannot run independently, it needs peripherals and memory circuits.
In embedded systems microcontroller designs are easier than microprocessor design.
For example 8051 controllers will have EEPROM, RAM, timer circuit, serial port, SPI, GPIO, etc.
If ur application need not have all these, just EEPROM, RAM, GPIO is enough then u can go for 8058 CPU with 8055, EEPROM, RAM.
In otherwords CPU designs may provide more flexibility to ur Embedded design. whereas microcontroller designs can make designing easier.
Hope this may help u !!

What are the types of microprocessor register?
Microprocessor consists of different types of registers. They special purpose registers, general purpose registers, address registers, floating point registers and constant registers.
Can you make a microcontroller using 8085 microprocessor?
I'm not quite sure what you mean. A microcontroller is simply a CPU with some RAM, ROM, and peripherals, all on one chip. You could design a circuit around an 8085 which would provide the same functionality, but unless you've got some ancient code that you want to run, there's not much point in that. Much easier would be an off-the-shelf, single-IC microcontroller. The 8051, a widely-used Intel part, will have a similar feel to the 8085, while a PIC or AVR would be a more modern choice.
What is FPU?
An FPU or floating point unit is the part of the microprocessor that does math.
Is there a saturation point for the microprocessor technology miniaturization?
Yes: this is the wavelength of the radiaion used for engraving.
What is the different between single-point and multiple-point perspective?
single point is smaller while multiple point is larger
What is another term for the CPU?
Central Processing Unit, processor, microprocessor, computer brain, floating-point-calculator, integer calculator, core, etc They can be called a lot of things, but CPU, processor and microprocessor are the big three.
What is the different between single-point and multiple perspective?
single point is smaller while multiple point is larger
What are the functions for metal wires in a computer microprocessor?
Conduct electricity, of course. They connect signals from point to point in the circuit like in all electronics.
How many address location can the microprocessor point for 25 bit wide program counter?
225 = 33,554,432.
