Question

25 multiple choice 1 point this graph represents the interactions in the predator prey ecosystem. based on this image, what type of feedback loops is this? key snowshoe hare lynx 160 thousands of hares 9 thousands of lynx 120 80 6 40 3 0 1850 1875 year 1900 1925 negative intermittent full loop positive

Explanation:

In a predator - prey ecosystem like that of the lynx and snowshoe hare shown, as the hare population increases, the lynx population has more food and also increases. But as the lynx population increases, they hunt more hares, causing the hare population to decrease. Then, with fewer hares, the lynx population decreases due to lack of food. This self - regulating mechanism is characteristic of a negative feedback loop.

Answer:

A. Negative
