The given example suggests the principle of resource partitioning.

The resource partitioning is a method of division of resources present in a particular niche to avoid the competition. In this case, the organism divide the regions having the abundant resources and they do not interfere in each others region.

In this case, the resource partition takes place by dividing the regions in the flask. one species use he resources present in the middle region and other uses the resource in the bottom.

Alexus [3.1K]
The event order should be:

1. Ingesting food, the small bowel filled with food solutes and become hypertonic. It will attract water from the blood which is hypotonic
2. Food digested, some of it absorbed. The osmotic pressure inside bowel will be reduced.
3. All food is absorbed, the osmotic pressure reduced significantly makes it hypotonic. The blood attracts water as it is hypertonic. This will increase the blood volume

Why does more photosynthesis take place in the ocean than on land
bixtya [17]
Just like plants on land, ocean-going plankton need light from the sun to prosper and grow. But light is absorbed by ocean water, and some colors of light are absorbed more readily than others.That's why nearly all photosynthesis in the ocean takes place in the sunlit upper layers.
