A biologist studying alpine wildflowers notices that two populations of similar species are able to occupy the same niches. Howe

ver, species A is mostly found at lower altitudes, while species B is mostly found at higher altitudes. What has most likely caused the realized niches of these two wildflower populations to be smaller than their fundamental niches? A. Competition has restricted the ranges of both species. B. The species are involved in a mutualistic relationship. C. Species A is capable of growing faster than species B. D. Species B requires fewer resources than species A.

Answer:

Option A, Competition has restricted the ranges of both species

Explanation:

When two species which depend on the exactly same kind of resources, get into a mode where they prefer to stay in two different ecosystems without interfering each other’s circle and thus they get excluded from each other due to competition. This phenomenon of the ecosystem is called Competitive exclusion

According to Gause's Law of competitive exclusion two species which are competing for similar kind of resources are unable to stay together.  

Hence, option A is the correct choice.

Answer:

A. Competition has restricted the ranges of both species.

Explanation:

<em>The most likely cause of the realized niches of the two wildflower populations to be smaller than their fundamental niches is </em><em>competition</em><em>.</em>

The fundamental niche of an organism represents the entire resources and area an organism has given that there are no limiting factors within the environment.

The realized niche of an organism represents the resources available and the area an organism has due to limiting factors within the environment, especially competition for resources and spaces.

<em>The realized niche results from competition for resources within the fundamental niche. Hence, they are usually smaller than the fundamental niche of an organism.</em>

The correct option is A.

If a plant were to absorb a substance that readily reacts with carbon dioxide in the stroma, the dark reactions would be most li
Assoli18 [71]
The right answer is the dark reaction would stop happening.
The Calvin cycle (or dark reactions, independent of the sunlight) makes it possible to manufacture glucose, an energy molecule, from carbon dioxide. This is called carbon fixation.There are three reactions of this cycle take place in the stroma of chloroplasts: the first of which is the fixation of carbon dioxide. which is a limiting step in this cycle.If a substance other than the components of the dark reactions absorbs and uses carbon dioxide, the carbon cycle will not be able to occur for lack of one of these ingredients which is the CO2.

Nuclei with a higher than desired neutron-to-proton ratios tend to undergo which type of decay?
alexira [117]
Hey there!

Nuclei with a high neutron-to-proton ratio usually undergo a beta emission.

Beta emissions, unlike some other types, is radioactive decay throughout these particles, and can have half lives like other types of exponential (usually) decay. Neutrino, along with <em>beta rays,</em> are coming from, or emitted from the nucleus - hence the name.

Hope this helps!
