well...
parasites live in or on there prey they also do not kill it right away it will die when the parasites get way into the prey. so in other words they only eat part of there prey
on the other hand predators they kill their prey right away!!! they can't get inside the animal unless the physically get into the animal through..ya i think you know what I'm talking about so they kill it right away
they both are meat eaters and they both are going to eat what they find
so...your welcome and i had this same question for my DS (daily science) too!!! this would be weird if you need this for your daily science so again you are welcome and i hope this answer works for your teacher and if it doesn't then screw him/her
