Question 1 Interspecific competition is defined as Selected Answer: interaction in which both species use the same resource and are thus both negatively affected. Question 2 The functional role of a species within its habitat is referred to as itsSelected Answer: niche. Question 3 Species of warblers (birds) living in the same general region minimize their interspecific competition by Selected Answer: foraging in different zones on the same spruce trees. Question 4 A good example of comm...

Animals and plants present in Antarctica - ️️All endothermic rely on thick layers of blubber to insulate from cold, e.g. seals, penguins, whales. Plants only grow in ice-free regions (2% of content). Lichens and moss grow in any favourable niche such as sand, soil, rock and on bones and feathers of dead animals. Algae also grow in sheltered areas. Animals present at Galapagos Islands - ️️Mostly reptiles, which only one land mammal, the Galapagos rice rat. Arrived by being washed awa...

Bio Exam 2 Pearson Questions with 100% Correct Solutions When sea otters became extremely rare on the California coast, their usual prey (sea urchins) became overabundant and consumed most of the kelp that was the principal habitat for a diversity of fishes and invertebrates. Which statement best describes this situation? - Correct Answer️️ -Sea otters are a keystone species. When goats were introduced into an island off the California coast, they lived in the same areas and ate the s...

AS AQA Biology Unit 2 EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS What is the difference between interspecific variation and intraspecific variation? - ANSInterspecific = variation that exsists between different species. E.g. the difference between horses and ducks. Intraspecific = The differences that occur within a species e.g. the length of giraffes necks Explain the two factors that cause variation - ANS1) genetic = individuals within a species can have different versions of those genes called allele...

Abiotic Factor correct answers A non-living, physical factor that may influence an organism or ecosystem; i.e. temperature, sunlight, pH, salinity, precipitation Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) correct answers A measure of the amount of dissolved oxygen required to break down the organic material in a given volume of water through aerobic biological activity Biodegradable correct answers Capable of being broken down by natural biological processes; i.e. the activities of decomposer organis...
