How do adaptations help Ann organism to reduce competition for food and other resourses

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.

Answer:

Why is healthy skin important? Healthy skin is important because it is your first line of defense against bacteria and other pollutants in the environment. Healthy skin is more resilient when faced with external stresses, serves as an important sensory organ and helps to regulate our body temperature.

The outermost layer of skin, called the epidermis, produces a thin barrier layer called the stratum corneum. This layer varies throughout the body in its structure, thickness, composition and functional properties. For example, the skin on your palms and soles is thicker than on your face.

Skin changes such as wrinkling are one of the physical alterations most readily associated with aging. It may surprise you that the outer layer of the skin, the stratum corneum, changes very little as we age. The main changes occur at a deeper level. Collagen, a basic chemical building block of skin and connective tissue, decreases with age.

Hi, thank your for posting your question here at Brainly.

The white stringy substance surrounding the fish may be one of these many choices. It could be an euglena, amoeba, water mold or dinoflagellate. All of these are protists with the same white characteristic.

Answer:

A = Activator

B = Effector

Explanation:

An activator is a protein which typically binds to a short (50–1500 bp) region of DNA which might be located either upstream (mainly) or downstream of a gene so as to cause increased transcription. This particular region of DNA is known as enhancer and activator is also known as transcription factor. Activator is a trans-acting factor which binds to the cis-acting factor which is enhancer so as to enhance transcriptional expression.

But another protein named as effector may restrict activator from binding to the enhancer leading to a decrease in transcriptional expression by binding to the activator allosterically. Allosteric binding of effector to the activator causes conformational change in activator so it can no longer bind the enhancer.
