Question

Which of these organisms will be hunted more often by predators when the corn is infected by fungus?

A. Grass
B. Owl
C. Rabbit
D. Snake

Answer 1

A. Grass

Step-by-step explanation:

In their natural habitat, organisms feed on one another in a relationship called PREDATION. Predation involves two organisms; one called the PREDATOR (the organism that eats) and the other PREY (the organism being eaten).

Organisms preying on one organism will naturally opt for a substitute once the previous prey is no longer accesible. This is the case of a fungus-infected corn that is no longer edible for predators. Hence, the predators will hunt similar feed, which is GRASS in this case.
