The UPS uses batteries to supply power when you have a power failure. There are two main types 1) Switched where the voltage is not applied until the power company voltage is removes and 2) continuous where batteries are continually being charged and running an inverter to supply AC. A generator takes several seconds to come to speed after a power failure is detected. Hence a generator is fine for things like lighting and house hold appliances, but not for computers if you value your data. In an optimum system a UPS may be backed up by a generator since the batteries in an UPS typically are not designed to provide backup power for a long period.

What are the differences between the parts of a generator and the parts of a motor?

In principle a generator is the same as a motor. In a dc motor the voltage generated by the rotating armature is slightly less than the supply voltage which causes power to flow in from the supply. If an engine is then coupled to the shaft causing it to rotate faster, then it generates more voltage and power flows back into the supply. That is how a motor becomes a generator.
