Why does it take more than one prey feed one predator?
The prey is always smaller than the predator that's why it takes more prey to feed a predator.
What is the relationship between predator and prey populations?
There always has to be more prey than predator. If there is less prey, it will get eaten by the predator and then the predator will starve. If there are not enough predators, the prey may overpopulize.
Why does it take more than one prey to feed one predator?
It takes more than one prey to feed one predator because predators have a higher metabolic rate and energy requirements than their prey. Additionally, not all parts of the prey may be digestible or provide enough nutrients for the predator, necessitating the need for multiple individuals to meet the predator's energy needs.
Why are there lesser predator than prey?
The energy that is pass on to the predator when the predator eats the prey is only 10% of it's energy as the prey's other energy is used up for itself thus the predator must eat more of it's prey to get the amount of energy it needed.
When does a predator tend to be larger than its prey?
A predator tends to be larger than its prey, and to have a slower population growth rate.
Characterists of a predator and its prey?
A predator has the advantage than prey. A predator hunts/kills animals for food while the prey is the one being hunted. It shows the relationship called PREDATION.
Is there a predator and prey situation with a snake and a frog?

Are predators always bigger than their prey?
The predator doesn't have to be bigger, but it must be adadpted to kill its larger prey
What are predator and prey relationships?
This is a much studied relationship that one might learn about in grade 10 science or Biology 11. Predators rely on the population of their prey for sustenance. An increase in predators could lead to a decrease in the population of the prey which in turn leads to a decrease in the predator population. As the predator population decreases the prey population can again increase and the cycle begins anew.
