QUESTION 1 points Save Answer Suppose that a predatory fish eats only minnows and the predator-prey interaction follows Lotka-Volterra dynamics. The intrinsic growth rate of minnows in the absence of predators is 0.1 per month, and the mortality rate of the predatory fish in the absence of minnows is 0.1 per month. The capture efficiency rate is 0.004, and the efficiency at which minnow biomass is converted into predator biomass is 0.25. The predatory fish population will increase only if the number of minnows is O below 50 O above 50 o below 100 O above 100 QUESTION 2 1 points Save Answer Herbivores most commonly eat theof plants O roots stems leaves leaves and stems 1 points Save Answer QUESTION 3 y stem functiceing according to Lotika Voherra dy mamics, an increase is the efficiency (8) by which peey bicmassis comverted ato peredator biomass sbouldthe long oem average muuber of prey o have no effect on o greatly increase decrease slightly increase 0 bp

Explanation / Answer

Q.1:-

Ans:- Should be below 50

Explanation:- Because efficiency at which minnow biomass is converted into predator biomass is 0.25.

Q.2:-

Ans:- Leaves

Explanation :- Because the leaves is the site of sugar production from thatr they takes maximaum food and energy.

Q.3:-

Ans:- Slightly increase

Explanation:- It had been already 0.25 so for long term it should increase slightly.

Q.7.

Ans:- All of the above

Explanation:- Because survival,growth,reproduction can be affected from this relationship.
