Cuestionario sobre Ecología Comunitaria

What does the Competitive Exclusion Principle establish?

• Species do not compete for limited resources.

• One species will always be more efficient in resource exploitation.

• Species are always distributed equitably in a habitat.

• Two species can coexist without competition.

What is a niche in ecology?

• The place where a species lives.

• The competition between different species.

• The function of an organism within an ecosystem.

• The amount of resources available in a habitat.

Which of the following is an example of a fundamental niche?

• A plant that grows only in one type of soil.

• A species that can live in several types of climate.

• An animal that only feeds on one type of prey.

• A species that adapts to competition.

What is resource partitioning?

• The adaptation of a species to a new habitat.

• The competition between species for the same resource.

• The division of resources among different species to reduce competition.

• The elimination of one species by another.

What type of mutualism occurs when two species are interdependent?

• Trophic mutualism.

• Obligate mutualism.

• Defensive mutualism.

• Facultative mutualism.

What is predation?

• An interaction where one organism consumes another.

• A relationship where one species lives inside another.

• An interaction where two species benefit mutually.

• A competition for limited resources.

What is an example of herbivory?

• A fish eating algae.

• A bird eating insects.

• A deer eating leaves.

• A lion hunting a zebra.

What characterizes parasitism?

• One species protects the other.

• Both species are interdependent.

• Both species benefit.

• One species lives at the expense of another.

What is primary succession?

• The competition between species in a habitat.

• The recovery of an ecosystem after a disturbance.

• The adaptation of species to new conditions.

• The development of an ecosystem in an area without previous life.

What is the final stage of ecological succession?
