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.

Answer:
159.808 g/mol
Explanation:
Br itself is 79.904 g/mol. So multiply it by two.
Answer:
The correct answer is option b. "Guppy color patterns would change; guppies would produce fewer but larger offspring; the nitrogen excretion rate would increase and the rate of growth of primary producers such as algae would increase".
Explanation:
The Trinidadian guppy is a species of fish with the scientific name <em>Poecilia reticulata</em>. Just like almost all species, its population is regulated for multiple factors, one of them being the presence of predators. The removal of Trinidadian guppy predators would result in multiple consequences:
- Guppy color patterns would change. The fish have a complex coloration determined largely by predation avoidance.
- Guppies would produce fewer but larger offspring. This adaptation has been proved in an experiment at which the fish was introduced one a low predation environment. The report proved that evolution can take place in less than 10 years.
- The nitrogen excretion rate would increase. It has been reported that predation reduce Trinidadian guppy nitrogen excretion by 40%. Removing the predators will case the nitrogen excretion rate to increase due to an increase in the fish food intake.
- The rate of growth of primary producers such as algae would increase. This is an effect of the increase of nitrogen excretion rate, which benefits algae population to growth.
