Answer:

b. Two species that use a limited resource in the same way cannot coexist indefinitely

Explanation:

The competitive exclusion principle establishes that two or more species that share the same niche requirements,  in the same habitat, and are in biological competition for the same resources, won´t be able to coexist indefinitely in the same space if the other ecological factors are constant. This is because species with identical niches have the same necessities, which means that they will compete for the same resources. If these species have the same requirements, they can not coexist. When the superior competitor occupies the inferior competitor´s fundamental niche, the first species has advantages over the second species and <em>monopolizes all the resources</em>. From that moment, the inferior species is displaced and must adapt to use other resources changing its behavior, or must migrate to another area where it can get access to its needs or get extinct.

When <em>two competing species coexist</em>, this is because of niche partitioning or niche differentiation. One of the species uses a <em>different resource, occupies another area, or uses the resources at different times during the day</em>. If there is not any differentiation between them, the dominant species displaces the weak species.

Niche specialization might produce genotypic separation. Subpopulations of a species diverge into new species.    

So, <em>competitive exclusion refers to the exclusion of the inferior competitor by the superior competitor when there is not habitat differentiation, and both species can not share the same niche.    </em>

Which of the following statements regarding human cells are true? Check all that apply.
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

  • Human growth and functioning can be explained by the functioning of the cells.
  • Cells are the fundamental units of humans.
  • The functioning of the cells in the body determine human health.

Explanation:

The cell is the basic unit of life. Therefore the biochemical activities of the cell at a micro-level will definitely influence overall physiology at the macro level of an organism. For example, the production of Thyroid hormone at the molecular level by the cells in the thyroid glands will influence the metabolisms of all cells in a human being and therefore affect the organism’s overall growth and development.

What is not an example of negative feedback
svetoff [14.1K]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>Blood clotting</u> is a positive feedback.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

All the physiological process occurring in the body are monitored by two types of mechanism called negative feedback and positive feedback.  

Positive feedback is the reaction which occurs with the feedback from the actions the system has performed. The blood clot occurs with palette formation which is regulated with the blood lose (continuous feedback).

Negative feedback is a reaction that is the invert of the change distinguished, meaning it capacities to decrease the change. A change is recognized by a receptor and an effector is made to incite a contrary impact which facilitates further reaction.  

The physiological process such as shivering, sweating and digestion are examples of negative feedback.
