Answer:
<u>Both of these are necessary to maintain overpopulation of any species in an ecosystem.</u>
Explanation:
- Predation is an act in which one organism eats another organism present in the ecosystem. 
- The one eaten is called prey, while the dominant organism is called Predator.
- Since an ecosystem is made up of many organisms along with the natural resources present in it. 
- This gives rise to different species competing against one another. 
- If one of these species is at a certain advantage, their population will rise uncontrollably hence to prevent this a predator plays a major role.
- On the other hand, competition is a term which describes the harm caused to two different organisms. 
- This is due to the limited number of natural resources like food, water or shelter etc. 
- Organisms who are less likely to adapt according to the changing environment ultimately die. 
- For example, Plant roots over time lessen the amount of nitrogen present in the soil, causing the neighboring plant to die.
