Agroup of ants attack a cicada, feed on it, and kill it, even though it is much larger than the ants. which kind of relationship do the ant and the cicada share?

a. the ant is the predator, while the cicada is the prey.
b. the ant is the prey, while the cicada is the predator.
c. the ant is the parasite, while the cicada is the host.

A.The ant is the predator, while the cicada is the prey.

Explanation:

A predator is a living being which kill other organisms so as to obtain it's own food. A prey is an organism which is weak and inferior over predator and killed by it.

According to the given situation, it is already mentioned that a group of ants attack a cicada, feed on it and kill it. This is a predatory response shown by the ants over the cicada. The response cannot be parasitic because the ants are not causing any disease to cicada, the ants are killing the cicada so as to obtain it as food like every predator do.

the answer to this predicament is false, by friend, i had this on a quiz, and i got it wrong, so i learned it, cos i was gonna have it on a test, and i got it right

the answer that best describes the relative refractory period in the neuron is the resting membrane potential is restored, but concentrations of sodium and potassium are not restored to their original state.

the refractory period is the time during which another stimulus given to the neuron will not lead to a second potential. thus, because na+ channels are inactivated during this time, additional depolarizing stimuli do not lead to new action potentials.
