In a forest, gazelles were the main source of food for cheetahs. The gazelles depended on grasses and shrubs for their food. A m

ysterious disease quickly spread among the cheetahs, killing many of them. What impact would the decline of the cheetah population have on resource availability?
Because the number of cheetahs declined, the population of gazelles will most likely ____________. This situation, in turn, will lead to increased __________ between the gazelles and other herbivorous animals that eat the same food as gazelles.

first blank- decrease, increase, stay the same
second blank- competition, predation, sharing

Due to natural selection , if the predator of the gazelle declines, then the prey the gazelles will increase since there isn't many cheetahs killing them anymore.
the second should be competition, since there will be more gazelles needing to eat.

<u>Answer</u>: first blank - increase

second blank - competition

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • As the population of cheetahs decrease due to the disease the population of gazelles would increase. This is because the cheetahs feed on gazelles, now when the population of cheetahs decline the predation of gazelles would decrease and hence, they will <em>increase</em> in number.
  • Now, that the population of gazelles is increasing and they feed on grasses and shrubs for food , they will compete with other herbivores as they will also depend on the same shrubs and grasses. So the <em>competition</em> between the gazelles and herbivores <em>increases</em>.

Based on the results of this study, what questions remain unanswered? How can these questions guide future research?
amm1812

Answer: One of the biggest questions is, Can we replicate these results in other plants? So, there needs to be more research to determine whether this technique is effective in food crops. It’s not known what the protein PsbS does, even though it seemed to enhance plant growth. There should definitely be more research to find out how this protein is linked to plant growth and whether boosting this protein will affect growth in other types of plants. The researchers also noted that there are numerous other ways to make photosynthesis, and there are more than 100 chemical reactions involved in the process. Investigating other possibilities might be the key to improving crop yield in a wide variety of crops.
