Predator- Prey relationships
*A predator is an organism that eats other organisms.
*Such as rabbits eating plants and bears eating fish or barriers

Role of predation
1) Predation helps through different trophic levels the energy
fixed by plants. If it wasn't for predation the grass, deer, bear food chain would not exist.
The grass ‘considers’ deer as its predator; in this sense, to a plant the sparrow that eats its
seeds is also another predator.
2) Predators can lower the competition in a community by preying on the
superior species and keep their populations low. This permits the
weaker species to survive in the habitat.
3) Predators are responsible for maintaining high species diversity in
many biological communities. Removal of all predators from a community
has been known to lead to the elimination of some species and a decreases in species diversity.
