It's really a question of symantics. "Microprocessor" typically refers to a PC-style CPU, that is, an adaptable piece of silicon that can be instructed to perform most forms of tasks. "Microcontroller" typically means a CPU that is solely dedicated to one purpose.
In other words, a PC would have a microprocessor, while a microwave would have a microcontroller.

Similarites between a microcontroller and a microprocessor?
Microcontroller = (microprocessor+memory+peripherals) on a single chip
What are the differences between microprocessor and micro controllers?
yes,microprocessor does not have it's own memory while microcontroller has it's own memory.microprrocessor has required peripheril devices'
What is the Different Between Microprocessor and Microcontroller?
The basic difference between the microprocessor and microcontroller is that we can interface a microcontroller directly means "for example we can directly connect a keyboard to microcontroller to any of its ports"....where as for microprocessor we can't interface directly...we require a circuit board since it requires ram,ic's.....etc.,! beyrojac mahinay
How many Address lines and data lines of microprocessor and microcontroller?
Microprocessor has 16 address lines and microcontroller has 20 address lines
Can you use microcontroller c51 as a microprocessor 8085?
yes
Who is first invented 8051 microcontroller or 8051 microprocessor?
Intel
Applications of microprocessor and microcontroller in the field information technology?
robotics
How do you add and subtract 16 bit numbers using 8051 microprocessor?
The 8051 is a microcontroller, not a microprocessor. To add or subtract, use the ADD or SUBB opcodes.
Why you using micro controller NoT micro processor?
Microcontroller have inbuilt memory, interrupts, etc. Which you will need to connect externally in microprocessor. Thus, Microcontroller is better than microprocessors
Difference between Z86E04 microcontroller from PIC microcontroller?
x
What is the reason for naming microprocessor as 8085 and microcontroller as 8051?
b/c the 8085 microprocessor is the first 8 bit microprocessor which Intel is produces in 1877 and this is the first general purpose 8 bit microprocessor. there was an 8 bit general purpose register before 8085 named as 8008 but this microprocessor is not functional 8 bit microprocessor
What is the Maximum clock frequency of 8086 microprocessor?
that depends on the microcontroller. check the datasheet.
