An organism adapting to its environment leads it to be more ‘equipped’ for survival.
Competition is when other species fight for the same resources that another species needs. Also, it would produce offspring with these adaptations.
An example (to help you better understand);
A blue jay has great eyesight, strong wings, and sharp beak. (Better adapted organism) Another blue jay has great eyesight, weak wings, and dull beak. (The competitor/unadapted)
Both birds find the same food source and are now competing for it. The first bird has sharp beams, which is better for breaking, and ‘chomping’ the seeds/food. The second bird would struggle to consume its food (seed) unless it’s worms.
So which one is better adapted? The first blue jay.
And i hope this helped show how competition can be reduced.
The virus that infect bacteria are called bacteriophage ! Hope this helps! :)
Ribosome are where RNA is translated into protein. This process is called protein synthesis. Protein synthesis is very important to cells, therefore large numbers of ribosomes are found in cells. Ribosomes float freely in the cytoplasm, and are also bound to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).
Answer:
Place a filter funnel on the top of a conical flask.
Roll the filter paper into a cone and place it on the flask.
Pour the mixture of sand and water into the conical flask with the filter funnel and paper.
Wait till all the sand is left over in the filter paper and all the water has been separated.
(You could also heat the sand in a warm oven to remove any water remaining)
