From the graph shown, it shows the rate of particular population size as time goes by. Right at the beginning of the graph lines, it shows that the population of species B was more than that of species A, just by a few though. As time goes on, we can see that the line of the species B population increased, and the species A also increased a bit.

This simply shows that the two species are increasing in population, most likely through the means of reproduction. The population of species B grows so much at the middle point, which shows the potential at which this species can reproduce in a much quantity than species A. But towards the end of the graph, the population of the two species reduces, with species B reducing to the minimum.

This simply implies that Species B is prey, while Species A are the predator. Species A feeds on Species B to the extent that they started to migrate away from one location to another where they can get more prey.

Species A will be the predator while species B will be considered as prey. A predator is a type of organism that will eat other organisms. The prey, on the other hand, is the type of food that the predator eats. For example, if you would go in the wild, you would consider the lion as the predator.

They are looking for food that they need for themselves and their offspring. The prey can be the zebra. In the given graph, it is obvious that the more predators that are available, the fewer prey that will be available in the same area. Normally, there is a balance between predator and prey as long as there is no human intervention.

The correct answer to this question is that Species A is a predator and species B is its prey. The reason for this is that there are more of B than A. When there is more than of the predator, then the prey will decrease. This would indicate that prey is B and that the predator is A. Predators are carnivores.

This means the diet is mainly meat. Examples of predators include bears and coyotes. The opposite of predators is the prey. Predators hunt prey. An animal that is a prey can vary in size, from an insect to a moose.

A is the predator, and B is the prey. Predators are carnivores that stalk and hunt their prey, and a predator is an animal that seeks other animals, while the prey is the animal that the predator is hunting. These two groups of species are mandatory for maintaining an ecological balance on the earth.

The predator is quite dependent on prey for its basic living. Some of the predator's attributes include speed, strength, camouflage, and a keen sense of smell, sight, and hearing. On the other hand, the prey are typically herbivores that do not consume other animals but sustain their life by eating plants and small insects.

Prey tries to evade the predator by utilizing their speed, camouflage, and a good sense of smell, sight, and hearing. Some common examples of predators include lions, tigers, sharks, eagles, and alligators. Some common examples of prey include cow, deer, rabbit, and mice.

There are more prey (B) than predator (A). When predators increase, prey decrease*##**##*
