How can competition limit a populations growth

Biology
1 answer:

4 0
A population's growth can rely on the factor of competition.
The competition against a specific food or water source has been common between species before. If they can't find another food or water source, they are going to being dying (basic fact). Basically, this is where "strongest survive" theory comes into play. If a species can't have a meal because another species has already claimed it, that family may begin to die if they can't eat.

Let's create a fake scenario here to clear it up:

A species of animal (A) is fighting another species (B) for their food (C).
<em>A</em> is stronger than <em>B</em>, and <em>A </em> seems to be lowering <em /><em>B's </em>available food quantity when <em>B</em> go hunting. Eventually, species <em>A</em> will either begin to kill off <em>B</em> due to lack of food, or <em>A</em> will force <em>B</em> to move into another area, sometimes even a different biome. <em>B</em><em>'s </em> population growth is forced to slow down because they won't have food to feed their offspring.

My apologies if I made that harder than it needs to be.
Hope I could help you out! Have a good one.
God bless.

Give one example of an extrinsic homeostatic mechanism overriding an intrinsic homeostatic process.
NeTakaya

Answer:

Extrinsic regulatory mechanisms are external and depend on the firing of some factor outside the population itself. Among them are interspecific competition, food and space restrictions, very strong climatic variations, weathering and inharmonious relationships with other populations (parasitism and predatism).

Good examples of interspecific competition appear when rabbits, caves, rats compete for the same plant, or different fish and birds, such as the heron, vie for the same species of smaller fish. This is because these different species keep their populations in the same ecological niche. Competition is often so strong that some species eventually, as one example of an extrinsic homeostatic mechanism overriding an intrinsic homeostatic process is their disappearance or migration to other regions.

In this competition, the presence of adaptations among individuals in the population that promote better food search, speed, vision, and others can make the difference between elimination and survival.

Answer:

Halophiles of Archaea domain

Explanation:

The Archaea are characterized as single cells. They can exihibit both the autotrophic and heterotrophic mode of nutrition. Their cell walls do not contain peptidoglycans but contain pseudo-peptidoglycans etc.  Their environmental conditions also need to be known to give a definitive identification and also are their organelles membrane bound.
