Answer:

A. resource partitioning.

Explanation:

Resource partitioning refers to as the division of limited food or resources by organisms in order to prevent competition in an environment. In situations where there are limited resources or food available to organism s in an ecological niche, such organism in that niche will need too develop strategic ways to coexist and to prevent competition, so that the resources can be shared across.

The birds illustrated in the question above are therefore experiencing resource partitioning.

The energy released when sugar molecules are broken down is transferred to bonds in which molecule
kozerog [31]
Sugar molecules (i.e. glucose) are broken down into simpler molecules such as pyruvate. Pyruvate, in the presence of oxygen will be converted to Acetyl-CoA and it will enter the tricarboxylic acid cycle wherein it will produce series of reducing compounds such as NADH and FADH. These reducing compounds are then processed in the electron transport chain and oxidized, and the energy released in the oxidation of NADH and FADH is transferred to the high energy phosphate bond of adenosine triphosphate or ATP.
