Populations

Question

Which of the following is not true about predators?

Easy

A

They act as ‘conduits’ for energy transfer across trophic levels.
B

They keep prey population under control.
C

They are too efficient and over-exploit the prey.
D

They play a vital role in maintaining ecosystem stability.

Solution

If a predator is too efficient and overexploits its prey, then the prey might become extinct and following it, the predator will also become extinct for lack of food. This is the reason why predators in nature are ‘prudent’.
