Answer:
B) realized niche
Explanation:
The ecological niche refers to all the environmental factors that influence the growth, survival, and reproduction of species. These factors also include the interaction between species. The term ecological niche refers to the fundamental niche or the realized niche.
- The fundamental niche refers<u> only</u> to factors or physical conditions under which a species can live and survive in the <u>absence of any interaction with other species.
</u>
- The realized niche refers to the restricted conditions in which a species can live and survive as a result of <u>environmental conditions and the interaction with other species</u><u>.
</u>
When an inferior competitor is excluded by the superior competitor, this is known as competitive exclusion. This occurs when there is not habitat differentiation, and both species can not share the same niche. In this case, the effective or realized niche of the dominant species completely occupies the fundamental niche of the inferior competitor.
In the exposed example the organism is able to occupy a niche in the presence of competitors, which is the clue for us to classify this niche as a realized niche. The organism needs to interact in a certain way with its competitors. There is an interaction between taxonomic groups, or between individuals.
Answer:
Energy:
The rate of movement per unit time of an object relative to all the other objects in the universe.
Generally we have it relative to the road on earth. For instants, you could travel 80 miles per hour relative to the road.
Nitrogen,<span>The atmosphere is composed of ~78% nitrogen and ~21% oxygen, with small amounts of other gases. The bulk composition of the earth by weight is mostly, iron, oxygen, silicon and magnesium, in that order, with all the other elements making up only about 5% of the earth's weight.</span>
