How to differentiate between Service and process?

Q.60 How to differentiate between Service and process?

The distinction between service and process is, by the way, not Linux-specific.( use ps -ef you will get a list of processes.)
A service can be several processes, e.g., httpd (web-service) or a database. 

Suppose your machine shows 6 apache2 processes and 8 nfsd (NFS daemon) processes. But that is only 2 services.
