No, prey refers to animals that are hunted and consumed by predators, while food refers to any substance or material consumed by living organisms to sustain life. Prey is specifically referring to the act of being hunted and eaten by a predator, whereas food is a broader term encompassing all substances that provide nourishment.

its the prey that gets killed and I'm a student =D Prey is the term used for the organism killed during predation.
The prey become extinct because they are always eaten by their predators.
There is no short term effect, the cycle will just go in these four stages. more predators= fewer preys too little food= predators starve few predators= more prey survive food plentiful= more predators survive
There is no real term that describes both. They are both very different.
bacteria does.
They are called "predators." They may be carnivores (eating meat) or omnivores (eating both plants and animals). The term carnivores includes scavengers, who do not kill their own prey but consume remnants from the prey of other animals. Some animals that are scavengers (coyotes, crows, vultures) are also predators or can become predatory.
Rats are prey to larger animals, predators to some birds and smaller mammals, and are also scavengers. Decomposer is not the right term to use. This term is more used for fungi and some bacterial colonies.
The word for when a predator is worrying its prey is "stalking." This term describes the behavior of a predator carefully and quietly following or hunting its prey in order to capture it.

Removing predators can lead to an increase in prey populations due to reduced predation pressure. This can result in overgrazing or overconsumption of resources, leading to imbalances in the ecosystem. Additionally, without predators, prey species may experience a decrease in their ability to respond to changing environmental conditions, making them more vulnerable to extinction in the long term.
