Explanation:

Overtime plants and animals have developed defenses against being eaten this has helped in maintaining a balance of population of prey species. A predator is one which kills other organisms in order to obtain them as food and prey are the organisms which are killed by the predators. Following are the defense mechanisms developed in plants and animals:

1. The thorns on a rose bush: The rose bush may have thorns which prevents the herbivores like sheep, goat, deer from grazing these plants.

2. The white coat of a snowshoe hare: This is a defense mechanism against the predators as the white coat mimic the color of the snow which helps the snowshoe hare remain undetected from the predators.

3. The speed of a gazelle: A gazelle is a species of the genus Gazella these are deer like animals which are hunted by lions, cheetah, hyenas, leopards and hunting dogs. The speed in running is essential for these animals to escape from the predators.
