Explain how the elimination of a predator from an ecosystem might result in starvation amongst its prey species.

If the primary predator of a prey species is eliminated, the prey species’ population will increase to the point of overpopulating the ecosystem. This overpopulation will result in depletion of the prey species’ food supplies as more individuals compete for the same resources and can ultimately lead to the prey species starving.

Explanation:

the number of protons in the nucleus of a given element. has slight luster and conducts electricity at high temperatures like metal.but like a nonmetal,boron is brittle and does not conduct electricity well at low temperatures. in graphite, carbon is a soft,brittle solid.it is reflective,ductile,or malleable.

answer:

the answer is 6 valence electrons.

explanation:

valence is the # of electrons on the outer most shell of an atom.

oxygen has 6.

although, the valency of oxygen is 2, because it only needs to make 2 covalent bonds, or gain 2 electrons, to achieve the stable octet configuration of a noble gas.

that's it!

if you need further assistance, let me know: )
