Question

8. (6pts) For each of the following predator functional responses, circle the prey density that typically results in a leveling off of the predation rate.

Predator Functional Response			Prey Density
Type I functional response			High	Medium	Low	Both High and Low	None of these
Type II functional response			High	Medium	Low	Both High and Low	None of these
Type III functional response			High	Medium	Low	Both High and Low	None of these

Answer 1

Type I functional response= prey density low and predation rate high.

Type II functional response= prey density medium and predation rate medium.

Type III functional group= prey density is high and predation rate is low.

The more the predation rate the less will be the prey density which we can see in the case of Type I functional response. And the less the predation rate the more will be the prey density which is the case for Type III functional response.
