explain how predator and prey populations limit each others growth rate.
use this word bank to you > decrease, increase, and cycle.

the predator/prey cycle starts when "predator" eats the "prey" it decreases the "prey" population and when it decreases down to where there is almost 0 of their population then the predator population decreases

Explanation:

again could be wrong

      In biology there's something called ecological relations . These relations can be very different from each other, but the predator-prey one is pretty simple to understand, let's think about it.

      Think of an island as an example, there are birds there (prey), and there are giant spiders (predators). So when the predator starts gathering resources from the birds, eating them, the birds population will decrease with time, after some time, the prey won't be available anymore, and the population of the spiders will too, decrease with time.

      This is a cycle, because when the population of spiders are low, the birds will start increasing up again, and the whole process will occur all over again.
