-Mutalism -Flowers
-Predation -Insects
3, Explain how the Wolves/ Elk population in Yellowstone are a great example of a symbiotic and a negative feedback loop.Wolves depend on elk. When the wolf population grows the elk population decreases. As the elk population decreases the wolves population decreases too since they don't have enough food.
4. What is the definition of a population?

5. Discuss what is happening with the Kudzu Plant in the United States and explain how this is an example of a symbiotic relationship (which?).
