Question

a relationship in which one species kills and consumes another species is known as
predation.
parasitism.
commensalism.
mutualism.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Predation: Defined as a relationship where one organism (predator) kills and eats another (prey). This matches the description.
• Parasitism: One organism (parasite) lives on/inside another (host) and harms it, but doesn't typically kill and consume the host in the same way as predation.
• Commensalism: One organism benefits, the other is unaffected. No killing/consuming.
• Mutualism: Both organisms benefit. No killing/consuming.

Answer:

A. predation
