Question

In an ecosystem in Africa, lions are predators for zebras. The lion population increases, and they eat more zebras. This decreases the zebra population. What happens next?

A. The death rate of lions increases.
B. The birthrate of zebras increases.
C. The birthrate of lions increases.
D. The lion population increases.

Answer 1

I believe it is A. The death rate of lions increases. This is because as the zebra population decreases, the lions have less food to eat.

I hope this helps :)

Answer 2

When the population of the zebra decreases, the food for the lions decrease. So, the death rate of the lions would increase. It's all a balance.

"A" 'The death rate of lions increases.' would be the correct answer.

I hope this helps!
