Competitive Organism

When certain exotic species are introduced into a geographical area they become invasive mainly because

• The invaded land has unlimited resources for the introduced species

• The population of the introduced species in the invaded area is very low

• The invaded land does not have its natural predator

• Introduced species do not face any competition in the introduced land

Two bald eagles fighting over a dead salmon is an example of:

• Interspecific competition

• Competitive exclusion

• Intraspecific competition

• Niche partitioning

The competitive exclusion principal states that:

• Each predator must focus on just one type of prey

• Moose and Elk don't normally inhabit the same continent

• Only alpha wolves get breeding rights

• Two species may not occupy the same niche

When two or more individuals or populations attempt to obtain a single resource.

• Competitive interaction

• Mutually beneficial interaction

• Dependent interaction

• Predatory interaction

Living, or produced by living things

• Environmental Factor

• Abiotic Factor

• Genetic Factor

• Biotic Factor

More than one individual or population in an ecosystem that relies upon the same limited resource

• Limited Resource

• Competition

• Dependent Interaction

• Organism

Competition is shown through a food web by...

• one arrow pointing away from an organism

• two arrows pointing away from an organism

• one arrow pointing towards an organism

• two arrows pointing towards an organism

Competition is shown in food webs because it shows multiple predators eating a common prey resource.

According to the food web, what organisms could be in a competitive relationship if their prey has a low population?

• The snake and hawk could be in a competitive relationship for the rabbit prey.

• The snake and rabbit could be in a competitive relationship for the hawk prey.

• The rabbit and hawk could be in a competitive relationship for the snake prey.
