Answer 1

Predation is an interaction in which one organism, the predator, eats all or part of the body of another organism, the prey.

Herbivory is a form of predation in which the prey organism is a plant.

Predator and prey populations affect each other's dynamics. The sizes of predator and prey populations often go up and down in linked cycles.

Predators and prey often have adaptations—beneficial features arising by natural selection—that are related to their interaction. For prey, these include various defenses and warning signals, such as bright coloration.
