Answer 1

MSSQLSERVER (a.k.a. Microsoft SQL Server) service: This is pretty much everything that is SQL Server (answering queries, selecting, deleting, updating, inserting data, etc.).

SQLSERVERAGENT (a.k.a. SQL Server Agent) service: This is responsible for executing jobs that are scheduled by the administrator(s).
