What would happen if a major predator was added to the food web? The population of prey would increase. The population of prey would decrease. The population of prey would stay the same. The population of prey would fluctuate.

Nicole:

I think it is A

Bob:

I'm assuming that major predator refers to a predator that eats a lot.

So don't think the prey would increase.

Nicole:

So B

Yes

rise and fall irregularly in number or amount.

Nicole:

Bob:

How would the population go both up and down with a major predator ?
