Vedclass · Answer

(D) In ecology,a predator is any organism that consumes another living organism (the prey). $1$. Predators play a vital role in maintaining species diversity by reducing the intensity of competition among competing prey species. $2$. Mutualism is an interaction where both species benefit; while often obligatory,it is a type of symbiotic relationship. $3$. $Calotropis$ is a plant that produces cardiac glycosides as a chemical defense mechanism against herbivores. $4$. Herbivores are considered predators because they consume plant parts (prey). Therefore,the statement 'Herbivores are not predators' is incorrect.
