Predators~ the animals that hunt on other animals. Prey~ the animals that get hunted upon.
Predation is a relationship in which an organism kills and eats another organism.
frog and mosquito
bird and warm
cat and fish
snake and chicken
The most important role an organism plays in the ecosystem
its niche
In an ecosystem, a niche is a very specific role that a species can play in that system. When two species attempt to fulfill this exact same role, their prey becomes much more scarce, and one will eventually force the other out.
Niche
They are decomposer, producer, predator, consumer, prey I'm not to sure about prey and predator it cud be scavenger and predator instead!!
a huge role. It eats the weak and injured prey which helps the other prey stay healthy
A life cycle (Predator and Prey).
The birds of prey play a very important role in the community. The bird of prey helps in maintaining the ecosystem.
Lions eat prey thus controlling the population. They prevent the population of prey animals from getting out of hand.
Hawaii's Monk seal plays an important role in the ecosystem. Monk seals are apex predators and they control levels of different prey populations to keep a healthy functioning ecosystem.
The squid is very important to the ocean ecosystem, serving as both predator and prey. As predators, they help keep the population of their prey in check. As prey, they serve as important food sources for sperm whales and some other predators.
An organism's role in an environment refers to its position and function within that ecosystem. This can include its interactions and relationships with other organisms, such as its role as a predator or prey, its role in nutrient cycling, or its role in pollination. Each organism contributes in some way to the overall equilibrium and functioning of the ecosystem.
The tigers constitute the top carnivores in the ecosystem that is usually at the top of the food chain. Tigers live in Asia because Asia has lots of prey of foliage.
Timber wolves, another name for gray wolves, are apex predators. They help the ecosystem in two ways: They weed out the weak and the sick, keeping the population of prey animals healthy. They also keep prey animals from overpopulating.

In consequence, the surviving prey will increase in population. The net effect is that the predator-prey balance will be upset.
Rats play a role in the ecosystem as both predators and prey. As predators, they help control insect and small mammal populations. As prey, they provide food for predators higher up in the food chain such as snakes, birds of prey, and mammals.
The role an organism plays in an ecosystem is its niche.
