Found: A Plant-Eating Spider. Spiders are meat-eaters. Until recently, scientists thought that was true for the roughly 40,000 s

pider species in the world. Now, researchers have discovered a spider that eats mostly plants. Bagheera kiplingi, a jumping spider, lives in Central America and Mexico. It nests in the leaves of acacia tree. Scientists have long known that ants live in these trees. The ants eat the tree’s little yellow vegetables. But scientists had no idea that the spiders eat the vegetables too. Is competition likely to occur between the Bagheera kiplingi and ants living in acacia trees? Support your answer. *

Answer:

Yes, competition is likely to occur

Explanation:

Competition is an ecological interaction between organisms of the same or different species, resulting in the detriment of one of the organisms. Competition is generally caused when organisms in an ecosystem occupies the same niche i.e. they rely on the same ecological resource, which could be food, mate, space etc.

The case described in this question involving a Bagheera kiplingi (jumping spider) and acacia ants will likely result in competition because they both occupy the same habitat and feed on the same food (vegetable plant). The two organisms will have to compete for this limited resource, hence, it is regarded as an INTERSPECIFIC COMPETITION because it involves two different organisms.

Which molecule is less soluble in water--a fat or a phospholipid? Why?
VladimirAG [237]
Fat is less soluble in water compared to phospholipids.
This is because, fat is made up of three molecules of fatty acids which are not polar in nature at all, thus they mixed very poorly with water.
Phospholipids on the other hand has its molecules divided into two distinct regions, the head and the tail region. The head region is hydrophillic and it is polar in nature, that is, it mixes well with water. The tail region is made up of the fatty components  and it is hydrophobic.
Because of this difference in structure, phospholipid will dissolve better in water.
