Abstract: We consider the initial-boundary value problem of a system of reaction-diffusion equations with density-dependent motility �egin{equation*}label{e1} ag{

a s t

} �egin{cases} u_t=Delta(gamma(v)u)+alpha u F(w) - heta u, &xin Omega, ~~t>0,\ v_t=DDelta v+u-v,& xin Omega, ~~t>0,\ w_t=Delta w-uF(w),& xin Omega, ~~t>0, frac{partial u}{partial

u}=frac{partial v}{partial u}= frac{partial w}{partial

u}=0,&xin partialOmega, ~~t>0,\ (u,v,w)(x,0)=(u_0,v_0,w_0)(x), & xinOmega, end{cases} end{equation*} in a bounded domain

O m e g a s u b s e t R^{2}

with smooth boundary,

a l p h a

and

h e t a

are non-negative constants and

u

denotes the outward normal vector of

p a r t i a l O m e g a

. The random motility function

g a m m a (v)

and functional response function

F (w)

satisfy the following assumptions: �egin{itemize} item

g a m m a (v) i n C^{3} ([0, i n f t y)), 0 < g a m m a_{1} l e q g a m m a (v) l e q g a m m a_{2}, | g a m m a^{'} (v) | l e q e t a

for all

F (w) i n C^{1} ([0, i n f t y)), F (0) = 0, F (w) > 0 m a t h r m i n (0, i n f t y) m a t h r m a n d F^{'} (w) > 0 m a t h r m o n [0, i n f t y)

end{itemize} for some positive constants

g a m m a_{1}, g a m m a_{2}

and

. Based on the method of weighted energy estimates and Moser iteration, we prove that the problem eqref{e1} has a unique classical global solution uniformly bounded in time. Furthermore we show that if
