Predator-prey relationship

Explanation:

A predator prey relationship is one in which interactions usually with consequential effects occurs between two different species. One species usually feed on the other. The species being fed on are the prey while the species being fed is the predator. In this context, the prey is the ant and the predator s are the ant lions.

Answer:

The relationship between the ants and ant lions is an example of predator-prey co-evolution.

Explanation:

Co-evolution refers to cases where two (or more) species reciprocally affect each other's evolution. Co-evolution is likely to happen when different species have close ecological interactions with one another. These ecological relationships include: predator/prey and parasite/host. The  ecological  relationship between pit-digging larval ant lions and their common prey, ants, is an example of how the specific ecological niche that species inhabit imposes selection pressures leading to specific behavioral adaptations. Ant lions rely on multiple strategies to capture prey with a minimal expenditure of energy and extraordinary efficiency while ants employ several different strategies for avoiding capture, including rescue of trapped nestmates.

Dependent Variable

Explanation:

An experiment has dependent and independent variables. The dependent variable is the one that is being studied and responds to the independent variable.

In the given experiment, the effect of a new drug is being studied on blood pressure. Here, the blood pressure (systolic and diastolic blood pressure) is supposed to change in response to drug treatment.

So, blood pressure is a "dependent variable" while the drug treatment is "independent variable".

What is the composition of earths atmosphere
gogolik [260]

The earth's atmosphere consists mainly of nitrogen and oxygen with smaller proportions of other gases such as carbon dioxide. The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is maintained through a balance between processes such as photosynthesis, respiration and combustion. However this balance is being affected by human activities which are polluting the atmosphere.

The proportion of these gases in the atmosphere is as follows: nitrogen is the most abundant at 78%, oxygen is next at 21%,  while others  include carbon dioxide at 0.037% and argon at 0.9 % .
