The answer is competition. 

Competition is an interaction between organisms. If resources, such as food, water, sunlight, territory, are limited and several species depend on these resources, then, they must compete with other species to gain the resources. So, if predators are present, this means that they will maintain the size of prey population on some optimal level. With fewer individuals in the population, there will be less competition for resources.
Therefore, <span>In natural ecosystems, the presence of predators lessens the effects of <u>competition</u> among the prey.</span>

Which of the following is not a key role of cell division? Reproduction. Growth. Tissue renewal. Fertilization.
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

Fertilization

Explanation:

Cell division is the process that occurs in all living organisms by which a cell divides into two or more daughter cells. The purpose of vegetative cell division (mitosis)  in eukaryotes is maintenance of the cell's genome, growth by cell multiplying and tissue renewal by producing new cell. Reproductive cell division-meiosis is responsible for the formation of gametes for the further reproduction. In prokaryotes it is used as a form of reproduction ( binary fission).
