What happens when an organism experiences conditions near the edge of its tolerance range? (Select Two)

• The organism’s ability to reproduce is reduced.

• The organism may survive, but it is unlikely to thrive.

• The organism expands its realized niche to adapt to new conditions.

• The organism's fundamental niche shrinks.

A fish species can tolerate temperatures between 10°C and 30°C and dissolved oxygen levels between 4 mg/L and 12 mg/L. However, it is restricted to cooler, oxygen-rich waters because of predation in warmer waters. What best describes this situation? (Select One)

• The fish’s realized niche is defined by competition.

• The fish’s realized niche is smaller than its fundamental niche.

• The fish’s fundamental niche is restricted by biotic interactions.

• The fish occupies its entire fundamental niche.

There must be a certain amount of abiotic factors in an ecosystem to allow organisms to survive. Factors that are too low or too high cause the organisms to die

• range of tolerance

• limiting factors

• zone of intolerance

• zone of physiological stress

This zone has few organisms where the temperature is either too low or too high. The old and weak fish die in this zone.

• Zone of Physiological Stress

• Zone of Intolerance

• Zone of Optimum Range

• Zone of Invalidity
