A biologist studying alpine wildflowers notices that two populations of similar species are able to occupy the same niches. Howe

ver, species A is mostly found at lower altitudes, while species B is mostly found at higher altitudes. What has most likely caused the realized niches of these two wildflower populations to be smaller than their fundamental niches?

The answer is resource partitioning. Due to competition between the two species population,  the two species evolved to utilize different resources. Therefore, this is rather than competitive exclusion that results to the out-competition of one species, or competition that results in a negative interaction between the species.

Answer:

A fundamental niche represents the set of environmental conditions in which a species can survive and reproduce. A realized niche represents the environmental factors actually utilize by the species in order to survive after interaction with predatory and competing species. Here, the two species A and B are able to occupy the same niche that is they are able to live in fundamental nich but they acquire different locations for their survival that is lower and higher altitudes.  

The species acquiring different habitat is their choice but there are some factors which are limiting their growth and abundance in the realized niches for example resources and predation.

7) Other than sunlight for energy, photosynthesis in plants needs these two things that we breathe
almond37 [142]

Answer:

Oxygen is needed to break the sugar into carbon dioxide, releasing energy the plants can use to stay alive. However, plants also take in energy from the sun(light), carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and water from the soil; they use all of them in order to make sugar, and release oxygen.

What are the two major components of extracellular matrix?
Advocard [28]

The two main components of the extracellular matrix are Elastin and Collagen.

The extracellular matrix is an intricate macromolecular network that is found in the extracellular space. The matrix is composed of polysaccharides and very diverse proteins, locally secreted and assembled forming a complex network that surrounds the cells. The matrix is highly developed in connective tissue and its derivatives. The extracellular matrix is formed mainly by proteins, glycosaminoglycans,proteoglycans and glycoproteins, organized in diverse networks that constitute the different tissues. <em>The most abundant proteins are collagen and elastin.</em>

Collagen is a family of very abundant proteins in the body of animals. Collagen molecules can represent 25 to 30 % of all body proteins. Its main mission in the tissues is to form a framework that supports the tissues and that resists the forces of mechanical tension.

The elastin molecules are very close to each other through links between the regions rich in the amino acid lysine. It is an abundant protein in may extracellular matrices and appears as a component of the so called elastic fibers, which are onsoluble aggregates of proteins.
