Question

number correct 4 number incorrect 0 which of the following best describes a predator - prey relationship between organisms? a. a predator species eats the prey species. b. a prey species eats the predator species. c. both species eat each other. d. the predator has a mutualistic symbiotic relationship with the prey

Explanation:

In a predator - prey relationship, the predator is the organism that hunts and eats the prey. Option B is incorrect because it reverses the roles. Option C is incorrect as it is not a case of both eating each other (which would be a very rare and not the typical predator - prey scenario). Option D is incorrect because a mutualistic symbiotic relationship is one where both organisms benefit, which is not the case in a predator - prey relationship (the prey is harmed).

Answer:

A. A predator species eats the prey species.
