3: Ecosystem Feedback Mechanisms Explain how the Wolves/Elk populations in Yellowstone are a great example of a symbiotic relationship and a negative feedback loop. -> The Wolves/Elk populations in Yellowstone are a great example of a symbiotic relationship and a negative feedback loop because as wolves population increased, the elk population will decrease, so there is not enough food for the wolves, and so the population of the wolves will decrease, making the elk population increase, and its just keep going like that. 4: What is the definition of a population? -> Population is all the inhabitants of a particular town, area, or country. 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?). -> Kudzu had no consumers, until the stinkbug, which can feed off Kudzu. Those bugs have been found in North and South Carolina and Georgia. This is an example of a symbiotic relationship because it shows that Kudzu and the stink bug are living together.
