Question

both carnivorous and parasites depend upon animal for for their food. in what way is a carnivorous different from a parasites

Answer 1

parasite
Parasite is any organism that lives inside or outside another organism, known as host, to obtain nourishment. Through parasitism, the host does not get any benefit from this association; instead, the parasite always gets the advantage. Usually, parasite is much smaller than its host is. Parasites are highly specialized to survive from its host, and they have an extremely fast reproduction rate than the host. Mainly, there are two types of parasites called ectoparasites and endoparasites, depending on the inhabited location of the host.
carnivores
A carnivore /ˈkɑːrnɪvɔːr/, meaning "meat eater" (Latin, caro, genitive carnis, meaning "meat" or "flesh" and vorare meaning "to devour"), is an organism that derives its energy and nutrient requirements from a diet consisting mainly or exclusively of animal tissue, whether through predation or scavenging.[1][2] Animals that depend solely on animal flesh for their nutrient requirements are called obligate carnivores while those that also consume non-animal food are called facultative carnivores.[2] Omnivores also consume both animal and non-animal food, and, apart from the more general definition, there is no clearly defined ratio of plant to animal material that would distinguish a facultative carnivore from an omnivore.[3] A carnivore that sits at the top of the food chain is termed an apex predator.
