What is an example of a predator-prey relationship in the desert biome?

Answer 1

Two symbiotic relationships that occur in the desert are the relationship of microbes and a cactus, and the relationship of algae and fungi.

1. Microbes and a Cactus is an example of commensalism, where one organism benefits from the other but the other does not. In this case, the microbes absorb water for the cactus to harness keep as water reserves in the dry desert.

2. Algae and Fungus are an example of mutualism, where both organisms benefit from each other. The algae undergoes photosynthesis to create food from the sun to feed both itself and the fungus, and the fungus forms a protective barrier around the algae, preventing it from drying out.

Answer 2

The answer would be

1: snakes and rodents, lizards (predators) and kangaroo rats (prey).

2: Scorpions and Tarantulas (predators) Insects (prey).

Answer 3

The Golden Jackal and the Black-Tailed Jackrabbit.

Answer 4

Predators: snake, lizard, beetle woodpecker
Prey: rodents, fly, grub, mouse

Answer 5

An example of the predator prey relationship for the desert is a succulent plant and an Addax. The Addax eats the succulant to get the precious water that is stores.

Answer 6

An example of predation in the desert would be the desert coyote and the pocket mouse. The desert coyote is the predator and the mouse the prey.

Answer 7

Yes; cacti goes to rabbit, rabbit goes to snake, snake goes to hawk.

Answer 8

It depends on which animal. Lions usually hunt sick or weak prey, which actually helps the herds. Leopards and Crocodiles hunt young prey, slowing the herds' growth
