Answer to Question 1

ANS:Predation
is important because it helps control wildlife populations. For example, foxes are necessary
to keep populations of rodents and other small animals under control. Populations of predators and
prey tend to fluctuate widely. When there is an abundance of predators, prey become scarce because of
overfeeding. When prey become scarce, predators may starve or move to other areas. This permits the
population of the prey species to increase.



Answer to Question 2

ANS:Mutualism
refers to two types of animals that live together for mutual benefit. For example, tick
pickers are birds that remove and eat ticks from many of the wild animals in Africa to the mutual
benefit of both.
