When reading about background agent, I am confused

  1. Windows Phone 7 allow using Scheduled Task to register a background
    agent. So what is the difference between Scheduled Task and
    background agent ?
  2. There are 2 types of Schduled Task and I use both of them
ScheduledActionService.Add(periodicTask); 

ScheduledActionService.Add(resourceIntensiveTask);

In MSDN noted that

Description field is required and is used to describe the agent to the
user in the background tasks Settings page on the device

But in the Background tasks settings, I see only periodic task

Why is that ?
