Q

What is the predator-prey relationship?

A
  1. Prey is eaten by the predator and the population of the prey fall
  2. This results in the predator population growing, however means that more prey is consumed
  3. The population of the prey reduces and there is increased competition for the prey between the predators
  4. The lack of food for the predators means that the population falls meaning that less prey is eaten
  5. This allows the population of the prey to recover and the cycle occurs over in a oscillating manner
