Best Answer

Organisms that fill the same niche in a given ecosystem are most likely to be competitors, since they would need the same resources (example: food). If the ecosystem wasn't rich enough in resources to support both (or more than 2) species that fill the same niche they'd have to compete with each other to survive.

What the study of the relationship between organisms and their environment?

Ecology is the study of interactions between organisms and their environment. THis includes interactions organisms have with each other, as well as their abiotic environment. Ecologists often cover diversity, distribution, population of organisms, as well as the competition between them and among ecosystems.


How would a significant decrease in the pH of rainfall be likely to affect the biodiversity among organisms in an ecosystem over time?

The number of species is likely to increase because most organisms thrive in highly acidic conditions.


If more than one organism tries to use a resource at the same time in the same place is it called competition?

Yes, you are correct. It is called competition. Competition among members of the same species is known as intraspecific competition, while competition between individuals of different species is known as interspecific competition.Biologists typically recognize two types of competition: interference and exploitative competition.During interference competition, organisms interact directly by fighting for scarce resources.In exploitative competition, organisms interactindirectly by consuming scarce resources. In both these, death usually is a result.

Explain how a reduction in the amount of sunlight in an ocean ecosystem could cause greater competition among the consumers?

Less sunlight would likely result in fewer producers. A decrease in producers would cause greater competition among consumers for the decreased food supply.
