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.
Heterotrophs hope this helps.
<span>Photosynthetic pigments, which absorbs the most sunlight is chlorophyll a.
This is the most abundant pigment in plants which absorbs visible light with wavelengths of 430nm( blue) and 662nm( red). It contains a hydrophobic phytol chain (in a lipid membrane) and a tetrapyrrolic ring (outside of the membrane) that absorbs the energy from light. At the centre of the structure is magnesium, Mg that can accept and donate e-.</span>
Answer: C. That jellyfish have stinging cells, while comb jellies do not
Explanation:
Comb Jellies to the untrained eye are the same as Jellyfish but as the question says, they are different in that they belong to different phyla.
The Comb Kelly belongs to the Ctenophora Phylum while the Jellyfish belongs to the Coelenterate phylum.
Perhaps the largest difference between them is that Ctenophora do not have stinging cells as opposed to members of the Coelenterate Phylum that do.
