A) This is predator-prey relationship.
B) Species A is prey and species B is predator.
- If prey population decreases in number, the predator population will also decrease because there is not enough food for predators to survive and vice versa.
- If predator population decreases, the prey population will increase because less prey will be eaten by predators and vice versa.
C) Let population A be Zebras, and population B Lions.
From the graph, at the beginning the there is increase in Lions, as well as in smaller rate in Zebras. At one point, the population of Lions begins to decrease, so they will eat less Zebras. This will allow Zebras to increase population. With more Zebras on the menu, more Lions will eat and increase their chance to survive. This leads to decrease in Zebra population. But again, with less Zebras, the Lion population must decrease allowing Zebra population to increase, and so on.
Yes. My teacher said that this is a true fact.
I really do hope this helps!
Answer:
Plant-like:
presence of flagella
shows the absence of cell wall, though chloroplast may be present
Animal-like:
absence of cell wall, as well as chloroplast
Fungus-like:
feeds on decaying matter
enclosed by a membrane called a pellicle
slime mold belongs in this category
Explanation:
The protists can be classified into three groups (plant-like, animal-like, fungus-like) based on the method of nutrition, movement, and mode of reproduction.
Plant-like protists have chloroplasts and trapped sunlight to form food ad energy (photosynthesis). They also have flagella used for the movement.
Example: Algae
Animal-like protists are heterotrophs that cannot make their food. They do not have chloroplast and cell wall outside the cell membrane.
Example: Protozoa
Fungus-like protists are single-cell eukaryotes that have a protective layer outside the cell membrane called pellicle. They feed on decaying organic matter.
Example: Slime mold and water mold
