Answer 1

Predation is similar to parasitism, wherein one specie is benefited and the other is harmed. Parasitism involves an organism that lives inside a host and absorbs its nutrients.

Answer 2

Predation is similar to parasitism.

Step-by-step explanation:

In predation one individual (predator) feeds on another (prey), which is of a different species from his own. When the predation consists of an animal that feeds on plants or some of its parts, we have the herbivory predation. When the predation consists of an animal that feeds on another animal, we have the carnivorous predation. Since predation establishes a system where only one individual benefits, we can compare predation to parasitism.
