I don't understand predation in terms of human population growth (can someone explain please)? I do not understand speed of population response at all either.....

Predators are animals (including people) who kill other animals. Human predators of deer hunt them for meat, kill them with motor vehicles, and take over their habitat.

The deer's population response is how fast they can mate and produce babies to make up for the deer who are killed or forced out of their habitats.
