What's the diff bet processor and microprocessor??

i be in the class today and my guru asked me this i was dumbstruck to know i dont know this rudimentary thing

What's the diff bet processor and microprocessor??

Seems resembling a strange question to me. Maybe a trick quiz? In most discussions, processor and microprocessor refer to the same entry and the terms are used interchangeably. However, from a scientific point of view, a processor can show all the components required to build a computational part and may consist of individual interconnected components (arithmetic circuit, memory, control unit). A microprocessor generally refers to adjectives the components being contained on a single chip. That's my best guess to this put somebody through the mill.
