Poison dart frogs live in the rainforest. they produce a poison by eating toxic fire ants. the only known predator is a snake, liophis epinephelus. which of the following factors is most likely a density-independent regulator of population growth of poison dart frogs in the rainforest?
a) clear cutting the rainforest
b) limited food source
c) susceptibility to disease
d) increase in population of liophis epinephelus

Answer : Option A) Clear cutting the rainforest.

Explanation : The poison dart frogs are found to be living in rainforest. The predator is snake which are identified. According to the given information the most likely a density-independent regulator for the population growth of these poison dart frogs are clear cutting the rainforest. Once the rainforest is cut clearly the population of these frogs will be highy affected.

1. a host loses nutrients to a parasite

2. a parasite only benefits when the host is alive (cause if the host dies the parasite dies with it )

3. producers to consumers

4. the tapeworm is a parasite

5. they convert energy from the sun (photosynthesis)

6. sunflower-robin (i think im 80% sure)

7. producer

8. consumer

9. prey

10. fresh water snails ( cause the green algea is the producer and the snails are the primary consumers and the small fish consumer so is the big fish)
