Answer:

By avoiding direct competition among these species, for example, by feeding at different times, by occupying distinct habitats, by niche differentiation, character displacement, etc.

Explanation:

Resource Partitioning is the strategy that similar species, living in the same area, can develop to avoid the competition among them, thereby ensuring their survival and preventing their decrease in population size. This strategy consists of avoiding direct competition by using limited resources in different ways (as above exemplified), thereby maximizing the efficiency in the use of these available resources.

After photosynthesis, energy that the coral can use is stored in

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Energy is stored in glucose molecules C6H12O6

Explanation:

Producers make sugars stored as monomers bonded together to form polysaccharides, long chain hydrocarbon molecules as a result of the process of photosynthesis. These molecules, like the monosaccharide glucose, store converted solar energy as stable chemical energy in covalent bonds. In covalent bonding, the elements share electrons with each other.

These high-energy bonds are stable and not easily destabilized or broken. The energy is retrieved the the process of respiration in the mitochondria.

Glucose is broken down, while energy is transferred to bonds between ADP and inorganic phosphate, to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

Eg. for aerobic respiration...

C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ≅38 ATP

glucose+ oxygen → carbon dioxide+ water+ energy

Why is the hepatic portal portal vein unique ?

LiRa [457]

Answer:

Blood flow to the liver is unique in that it receives both oxygenated and (partially) deoxygenated blood. As a result, the partial gas pressure of oxygen (pO2) and perfusion pressure of portal blood are lower than in other organs of the body.
