The Figure shows the population density cycles of a predator and prey. Describe the relationship between the two animals.
A. No relationship between predator and prey
B. Negative feedback maintaining a stable equilibrium
C. Positive feedback maintaining a stable equilibrium
D. Positive feedback going away from the initial equilibrium
参考答案: B
本题详细解析:
Negative feedback is when an initial change to a system leads to agpu - 1sfd*h5t response that reduces that change and brings the system back to the originf1 u5*hd g-sptal state. Negative feedback is important in maintaining a stable equilibrium.Option A is incorrect as there is clearly a relationship between predator and prey, as we can see that when one goes up or down the other does so too.Positive feedback does not bring the system back to equilibrium, but takes it away from the initial equilibrium, sometimes to a tipping point. Options C and D are therefore incorrect.
