Explain how interspecific competition may lead to resource partitioning, providing an example.

Biology
1 answer:
tangare [24]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Interspecific competition is a competition between two species for obtaining the same resource. For example, lion and leopards are cat species but feed on the same prey so they compete for the same resource.

Interspecific competition may lead to resource partitioning through the change in their niche by one species to avoid interspecific competition.  

For example, <em>Anolis evermanni</em> and <em>Anolis gundlachi</em> are two species of lizards live on Puerto Rico island and compete for the same resource i.e., insects so to avoid interspecific competition they did the resource partitioning.

Anolis gundlachi feeds near the ground and  Anolis evermanni prey on upper branches of trees so in this way they avoid competetion.

Explain how a carbon atom from a CO2 molecule in the air can end up as a carbon atom in a protein in a plant cell
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Photosynthesis and metabolism are among the most complex areas in biology so given the nature of this forum I've kept the answers simple and brief.

Carbon is of central importance to all biological systems due to its special bonding properties allowing it to form various bonds with other atoms and produce a wonderfully complex range of molecules used by life.

In photosynthesis inorganic carbon in carbon dioxide gas is fixed to hydrogen to produce sugar, an organic molecule. In this case the carbon gains electrons so it is 'reduced' and this process requires energy in the form of light. Once in sugar form, the process can be reversed and the carbon can be oxidised back into carbon dioxide during cellular respiration, releasing energy.

So in photosynthesis, the carbon from carbon dioxide is reduced to form a sugar molecule. When transitioning to respiration, the carbon in the sugar is oxidised to form carbon dioxide again in the reverse reaction to photosynthesis.

The carbon is transferred between molecules through various intermediate steps during these processes, involving enzymes (biological catalysts) to assist in cleaving specific bonds at each stage. During cellular respiration (an energy release reaction) as the carbon is successively oxidised electrons are liberated that are used as part of the energy release. These electrons are captured or 'carried' by special organic molecules called NAD and FAD (reducing them) which in turn can then be oxidised to produce the universal energy currency of life: ATP molecules. ATP is a small bio molecule containing a high energy phosphorous bond that can be broken to release energy to do cellular work. It is used by all life that we know of and is the ultimate product of cellular respiration.
