2. describe, in complete sentences, the relationship between the predator and prey populations in the activity. how does a change in each population affect the other?

The predator hunts the prey. The predator needs the prey to survive because this is the predator's source of food. The prey needs the predator to help reduce population, this is because when the population of prey grows too large more resources need to be consumed. If the prey start dying the predators lose their food source. If the predators start dying the prey's population will become so high that it depletes their resources, such as food.
