All living things within an ecosystem are interdependent. a change in the size of one population affects all other organisms within the ecosystem. one well known predator/prey relationship is between the canadian lynx (predator) and the snowshoe hare (prey). what happens to the population of canadian lynx if there is an increase in snowshoe hare? a) the canadian lynx population will decrease. b) the canadian lynx population will increase. c) the canadian lynx population will remain the same. d) the canadian lynx population will remain the same because the canadian lynx can only eat so many snowshoe hare.

The correct answer would be B)The Canadian lynx population will increase.

In a predator-prey relationship, the population size of predator and prey fluctuate with the population density of one another.

For example, if the population size of prey increases in an ecosystem, the population size of the predator would also increase. It is because the predators would have excess to a large amount of food now.

Thus, the large population of the predator can be supported by the available resources.

Similarly, the population size of Canadian lynx (predator) would increase if there is an increase in the population size of the snowshoe hare (prey).

estuaries are the partially enclosed coastal bodies of brackish water formed at the mouth of sea where river meets an ocean. it is a transition zone between river and sea water so estuaries are influenced to both marine environment such as tides, waves and to riverine such as flow of fresh water and sediments. the mixing of sea and fresh water provide high level of nutrients, making estuaries a high product habitats.

many estuaries suffers degradation from a variety of human activities like erosion from deforestation, overgrazing, overfishing, drainage and eutrophication.

so from the above statement answers will be

1. false as estuaries are formed due to both brackish and freshwater.

2.true, due to high productivity estuaries are breeding ground for many marine species.

3. direct and indirect activities of man that contribute to pollution and deposition of sediments.
