A series of reciprocal adaptations in predator and prey populations describes co-dependence or co-evolution
In co-evolution,two species which are in association evolve together due to their relationship
Both the species have different ancestry
Interactions exhibited by co-evolution are: host parasite interaction, prey predator association, evolution of long proboscis in insects for taking nectar from flowers
Predation is a very short term behavior in which two different species interact with each other for the demand of energy, one is prey and the other is predator
For successful predation, predator wants minimum energy investment and maximum energy
Increase in prey population in any given area attracts predator population, hence population of predator also increases in that area
Increase in predator population results in decrease in prey population after some time decrease in prey population leads to decrease in predator population also
The transport process that does not requires the consumption of ATP molecules is called as passive transport. The movement of solute molecules along the concentration gradient (from higher concentration to lower concentration) is called diffusion. This process does not requires ATP for the movement of molecules from one place to another.
