Two interactions within an ecosystem are predation and parasitism. In predation, predator organisms feed on prey organisms. In parasitism, parasites depend on host organisms. Which of the following correctly describes the relative numbers of organisms in parasitism or predation?

Answer:Predator-prey relations refer to the interactions between two species where one species is the hunted food source for the other. The organism that feeds is called the predator and the organism that is fed upon is the prey. There are literally hundreds of examples of predator-prey relations.
