Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Bears are apex predators and influence their ecosystems through predator-prey relationships. Likewise, salmon “feed” the ecosystem not only by feeding bears, but also with the nutrients their carcases provide to streams and riparian vegetation.
Detailed explanation-2: -Whether it is a roadrunner swallowing a lizard, a blue crab eating a fish, an American Egret catching a perch, a shark investigating a surface disturbance that could be a meal, or a man rounding up a cow for slaughter, the predator kills to provide food for itself or its family.
Detailed explanation-3: -The prey is the organism which the predator eats. Some examples of predator and prey are lion and zebra, bear and fish, and fox and rabbit.
