The occupation of different niches on the open plains and woodlands of Africa by the zebras and the wildebeests is a result of niche partitioning. The zebras and the wildebeests in a common niche would compete for food, water, shelter, and space. This competition would affect the population growth of the two species by negatively affecting their reproductive capabilities. Thus, in the same habitat, the two species choose to occupy two different niches such that the competition between them is minimised. Hence they end up in separate niches.
Answer: The cell membrane invaginates and pinches off, creating a vesicle within the cell.
Explanation:
Endocytosis is an active transport mechanism, for particules to be transported, the plasma membrane of the cell invaginates, forming a pocket around the target particle. The pocket then pinches off, resulting in the particle being contained in a newly created intracellular vesicle formed from the plasma membrane.
