Answer:
B. Decrease to its carrying capacity
Explanation:
Goby fish feed over algae for their survival and growth but if 50% of algae in the ocean decreases then the population of goby fish will decrease to its carrying capacity.
This is so because then the goby fish will be dependent on the left number of algae and maximum population size will depend on the rest 50% of food or algae available.
Hence, the correct answer is "B. Decrease to its carrying capacity".
None of them.
I'm assuming that you left off an option. a prokaryotic cell is a single-celled organism, generally a bacteria. an example would be e-coli.
I think this is the answer key.. tell if you need help read it :)
I believe it is D, the reason being is because they form on their own, not from a living or dead organism. It can't be B because that is true, and the same for C. hope this helps, have an amazing day :)
<h2>Competitive exclusion principle.</h2>
Explanation:
The fundamental and realized niches of B. balanoides are identical, but the fundamental and realized niches of C. stellatus are different.
All the possible combination of resources and condition under which a species can grow, survive and reproduce is called its fundamental niche. Whereas, the more limited set of resources and condition under which a species can grow, survive and reproduce in the presence of competitors and predators is termed as its realized niche.
Competitive exclusion principle states that if two competing species coexist in a stable, homogeneous environment, then they do so as a result of differentiation in their realized niche.
<em>B. balanoides</em> can use a wider range of resources than<em> C. stellatus </em>because its fundamental and realized niches are identical . Hence thrives to exclude C.stellatus.
