A. land plants, tiny water plants
a. slug, frog, newt
b. plants, slug-insect-water fleas, frog-fish-newt, perch-fox, heron
c. water fleas, diving beetles
d. heron, perch
e. one thing that could happen if all frogs suddenly died is that there would be an overpopulation of slugs, insects, and beetles. another thing that could happen would be that foxes would only rely on getting slugs for food so the slugs would soon go extinct and the plants would possibly over populate.
hope this helps!!
Jeffery Arnett is a physiologist who coined the term "emerging adulthood." This has previously been known as; delayed adulthood, transition age youth, youthhood, and the twixter years. He believes that the period between adolescence and adulthood is when the person reaches adulthood but doesn't have children, have sufficient funds, or have their own home. He believes it starts at 18 and ends around 25 years of age. He thinks this is when people are still looking for love, make money to spend on recreational activities, and trying to develop their own identities. This theory is highly controversial and has been contested by developmental psychologists.

Microtubule – serves as a framework of the cell –cytoskeleton.<span>
</span>
Nucleus – the control center of each cell. It regulates, monitors and organizes the whole cell<span>
Since the pictures isn't given I can assume that it can be the microtubule, the microtubule is responsible for maintaing the shape and structure of the overall cell. It maintains homeostasis by permanently aiding the framework of the overall cell.
If it is the nucleus, the control center of a cell. It does a lot of functions in the cell, it helps maintain homeostasis by sending commands that the organelles do, supply energy, excrete or digest waste, regulate the movement of objects and cellular respiration, even cell division. It sustains the cell to be functional and proactive at the same time reactive to situations that is likely to occur.

Complete question:
Two species of closely related frogs are found in the same pond high in the Andes of South America. Both species only have teeth on the top jaw. One has small teeth for holding small live prey prior to swallowing. The other species has very large sharp teeth for injuring and killing large prey prior to biting off pieces of flesh for consumption. The above is an example of:
- Directional selection
- Analogous structures
- Character displacement
- Hybridization
- Vestigial structures
Answer:
Explanation:
Competition is an ecological and evolutive process very common in nature. Competition might be intra- or interspecific. Competition between different species in a community or ecosystem might be due to the same resource use, or the same territory, shelter, etcetera. When a resource is useful for two or more species, and limited, they compete to gain it.
The principle of competitive exclusion states that different species with the same requirements sharing the niche can not coexist indefinitely based on the same limited resource. When <u>two competing species coexist, this is because of niche partitioning or niche differentiation</u>.
Differentiation of effective niche is closely related to <u>character displacement.</u>
<u>Character displacement</u> is the result of interspecific competition, in which two or more species that live in the same habitat manage to avoid competition by developing different traits. Morphological divergence, or any adaptative trait development, fixated genetically, is the product of niche segregation. Species tend to differentiate morphologically in the presence of strong competitors. Traits divergence favors coexistence in the same place.
In the exposed example, both species live in the same pond. But to avoid competition and competitive exclusion, species developed different teeth sizes to feed on different prey items.
