The occupation of different niches on the open plains and woodlands of Africa by the zebras and the wildebeests is a result of niche partitioning. The zebras and the wildebeests in a common niche would compete for food, water, shelter, and space. This competition would affect the population growth of the two species by negatively affecting their reproductive capabilities. Thus, in the same habitat, the two species choose to occupy two different niches such that the competition between them is minimised. Hence they end up in separate niches.
Answer:
Denitrification = bacteria convert nitrates into nitrogen gas.
Denitrification occurs when nitrogen is removed from the soil and this happens when bacteria concert nitrites back to Nitrogen gas.
Nitrification = Bacteria convert ammonia to nitrites and nitrates.
Nitrification is the process by which bacteria concert ammonia made from ammonification into useful organic compounds like nitrites.
Nitrogen fixation = bacteria break down waste products and return nitrogen to the soil.
Nitrogen fixation is when bacteria return nitrogen to the soil by breaking down waste products that fall into the soil.
Ammonification = bacteria convert atmospheric nitrogen to ammonia.
During ammonification, bacteria converts nitrogen compounds to Ammonia or Ammonium.
Assimilation = Plants and animals take in and use nitrogen compounds.
Assimilation then occurs when plants take in these nitrogen compounds and use them. Animals will get these compounds by eating the plants.
Answer:
1. The Diet Pills
2. The Height Of the plants
3. The plant being watered with tap water
4. 8 Trials were included
Explanation:
1. An independent variable is the variable that you change
2. The dependent variable is what you are measuring, in this example the height of the plant
3. This is what you use to base your conclusion on. In this test they are seeing if diet pills affect the height of the plants. So a plant with no diet pill is the control
4. The results were taken at the end of the week for EIGHT weeks. 8 Trials.
Points c and d would have spring tides.
