Describe how predator-prey relationship can be a mechanism of population control?

Predator-prey relationships can regulate population sizes by keeping prey populations from growing unchecked. Predators hunt and feed on prey, reducing their numbers. As prey populations decrease, predator numbers may also decline due to reduced food availability, which in turn can allow prey populations to recover. This cycle helps maintain a balance between predator and prey populations.
