Predation and parasitism are similar because they both involve one organism feeding off of other organisms. They're different because predators kill their prey, while parasites may harm their hosts but won't kill them.

∙ 14y agoThe similarity between predation and parasitism is that the predator or the parasite derives its nutrition from some other organism. The difference is that the predator kills that organism while the parasite strategy is not to kill the host organism, but to continue to parasitize it for a prolonged period, which may involve generations of parasites - although it should be noted that parasites do sometimes kill their hosts.
