If a predator is eliminated from an ecosystem its prey’s population will likely a. increase b. decrease c. stay the same d. change, but the direction cannot be predicted

The right answer is: Increased.

A predator is a living organism that kills prey to feed on it or to feed its offspring. Predation is common in nature, where predators play a major role in maintaining ecological balances, including population equilibrium. If there is an absence or a decrease in predators, it is clear that there is an increase in the population.

carbohydrates: (starches and sugars) composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.

lipids: (fats, oils, and waxes) are made of carbon and hydrogen atoms.

nucleic acids: contain hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, and phosphorus. they are polymers of nucleotides. a nucleotide has three parts, a 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate     (-po⬇️4) group, and a nitrogenous base.

proteins: made up of nitrogen, carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. they are polymers of amino acids.

i think the answer would be d
