Answer: b. An increase in the population of prey it feeds on.

A predator is a kind of organism which kills the other organisms so as to obtain them as food. The organism which is killed is called as prey. If the population of predators in an ecosystem increases the result for this increase is the increase in population of prey which the predator population can use as food to survive, reproduce and grow in number.

Solnce55 [7]

Complex nutrients are digested and then absorbed into the bloodstream as monomers.

Nutrients from food can be used in the body only when are broken down to their basic units: carbohydrates in monosaccharaides, lipids in free fatty acids, proteins in amino acids and nucleic acids in nucleotides.

Those molecules together with water and minerals from the diet, are absorbed in the small intestine. The absorbed molecules are then transported into the bloodstream and carried to different parts of the body for usage, storage or chemical transformation. Some of the macromolecules are broken down in mouth (e.g. starch), or in stomach by the enzymes.
