True or false if a prey population decreases the population of its predator probably will decrease as well-?

It is true to say that; If a prey population decreases, the population of its predator probably will decrease as well.


What relationship occurs between prey and another organism?

predator kills and eats prey for its survival. When the predator population increases, the prey population decreases because of too many hunters. When the prey population decreases, the predator population decreases because of the lack of food. Then, the prey population increases because there aren't that many predators and the process repeats itself.


What happens to predator population when the prey population is eliminated?

The predator population also goes down because there is less for it to eat. This is called the food chain.


True or false If a prey population decreases the population of its predator probably will decrease as well?

True, if the number of prey decreases, the predators will have nothing left to eat and will slowly starve. In some cases the predators will become cannibalistic (eat its own species) to prevent it self from starving to death.So the answer is true, if a prey population decreases the population of its prey will decrease as well.


What happens to the predator population when the prey populations decreases?

The predator population may also decrease due to a decrease in available food source, leading to increased competition among predators. This could result in some predators migrating to find new prey or population decline due to lack of resources. Ultimately, the predator population may be negatively impacted by a decrease in the prey population.


Symbiosis relationship of lion and zebra?

Lions and zebras have a predator prey relatiuonship. For example the lion is the predator obviously because it is the top of the food chain and the zebra is the prey because it get eaten. They aren't related in any other way.Actually there is, they live in the same habitat.


How does a change in the prey population effect the predator population?

A change in the prey population effects the predator population because if there are alot of preys, then the predators would eat the preys and the population of predators would increase. But on the other hand, if there are not enough preys, the predators would starve and die which would decrease the population of predators.


Is the eastern diamondback rattlesnake a predator or prey?

A rattlesnake may be a prey or predator. They eat small animals but are preyed upon by a number of creatures.


What happens to the predator population when the prey population is above the predator isocline?

When the prey population is above the predator isocline, the predator population tends to increase as they have more food available to hunt and consume. This can lead to a rise in the predator population until it reaches a balance with the prey population.


What are predator and prey relationships?

This is a much studied relationship that one might learn about in grade 10 science or Biology 11. Predators rely on the population of their prey for sustenance. An increase in predators could lead to a decrease in the population of the prey which in turn leads to a decrease in the predator population. As the predator population decreases the prey population can again increase and the cycle begins anew.


Is the sloth bear a predator or a prey species?

Sloth bears are prey to bengal tigers, but happens on occasion.


What happens when the cycling of matter in ecosystems is disrupted?

The predator eats the prey in the food chain. As the population is stable, the food chain won't wreck. There's an interdependence between the prey and the predator in the food chain. The prey should be there to feed some food to their predator, and the predator also needs to be there to control their prey population from exploding. Changes in animal population can wreck the food chain. If the prey population decreases, the predator population would also decrease as there'll be less food for them to eat. If the predator population decreases, the prey population would increase because less predators means less preys gets hunted down, so there'll be more preys. If the prey population increases, then the predator population would also increase because there'll be more food for them to eat and there should be more predators to take more control patrol of their prey population. If the predator population increases, then the prey population would decrease because more predators means more preys gets hunted down, so there'll be less preys. Animal Population Change Formula: Prey Decrease→Predator Decrease Predator Decrease→Prey Increase Prey Increase→Predator Increase Predator Increase→Prey Decrease
