Answer: B)  Predator/prey

=========================================================

Explanation:

The lynx is the predator that hunts and eats the snowshoe hare, which is the prey.

The graph shows that when the hare population is large, so is the predator population because they rely on the hares as a source of food. However, the more predators there are, the less prey there will be. This causes the prey population to decrease. In turn, this decrease causes the predator population to decrease as well. If there's less food, then some of the lynx population will starve to death.

At some point, the hare population will rebound and go back up due to less predators eating them. They have a better chance to survive. As the hare population goes up, so does the lynx population. They're both strongly linked together, and we have this cyclic pattern the graph indicates. You could say this is "the cycle of life" or "cycle of nature" so to speak.

This is a very simplistic viewpoint because it does not account for other factors such as other predators and other prey, and it also doesn't take account of things like habitat loss for instance. Despite that, such predator-prey models are still useful to understand the connection between the two species.

2. Someone who is in Positive Energy Balance eats more calories in a day than he or she bums.

3. Negative Energy Balance occurs when the number of calories a person bums in a day is greater than the amount he or she consumes.

4. Weight management involves applying strategies that allow someone to keep his or her body weight within a healthy.

5. The Basal metabolic rate is the amount of energy uses in order to perform its basic physiological functions.

6. The Thermic effect of food refers to the number of calories burned in order to digest absorb, metabolze, and store food.

7. The Lean body mass refers to his or her total body - fat mass.

Explanation:

This group of statements are related to body weight, the balance between the energy we consume through food and all the energy we burn through excercise and different activities, such as only mantaining our body temperature and normal processes.
