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.

when you breathe in, or inhale, your diaphragm contracts (tightens) and moves downward. this increases the space in your chest cavity, into which your lungs expand. the intercostal muscles between your ribs also enlarge the chest cavity. they contract to pull your rib cage both upward and outward when you inhale.
