Do predators really kill only the old and sick prey? What evidence is there for this statement

Biology

Georgia [21]3 years ago

No, but it is known that old/sick prey is much easier to catch. The evidence is that, say, there's no old and sick prey. The predator has to eat regardless, and whatever is there for it to take, it will. Think of a lion and a zebra, and the zebra is eating grass in the middle of a field. The lion is going to take that chance.

How do water and sunlight affect decomposers ?
Dovator [93]

Answer:

As the volume of available water increases, the rate of decomposition also increases. Many decomposers secrete enzymes onto decaying matter and then absorb any dissolved molecules and sunlight allows things to grow out of decomposers allowing faster decomposition from the plant absorbing the other nutrients from the things in the decomposer making the soil rich and fertile.
