How do niches help organisms of different species avoid competition?
If the two do not share the same niche, they will eat different food. That decreases the probability of the species competing for the same type of food. Also, they will not fight over females because they are a different species. Animals within a species avoid competition by marking their own territory, and avoiding the territory of others.

What type of plants and animals do omnivores eat?
The type of plants and animals an omnivore eats truly depend on the species. Not all omnivores are going to eat the same variety of plants/animals. Humans are obviously omnivores and we do not all eat the same things, as we differ in our likes and dislikes and various medical reasons as to avoid certain foods. Some common omnivores include pigs, crows, bears and chimpanzees.
How have zebra and wildebeest and Thomson's gazelle adapted in anatomy and body function to avoid competition?
All three tend to feed on the same plants/grasses. However each species feeds on a different section of the plant. The zebra tend to feed on the uppermost part of the grasses, the wildebeest feed on the middle sections while the gazelles feed on the lower section. This way they can feed on the same plants without being in direct competition. Hope that helps.

What is the same of different species attempt to use an ecological resource at the same time and same place?

Resource partitioning is a way to prevent this, or when two species use different resources in order to avoid competition and create differentiation in their ecological niches.
Why are plants generally few and far between in deserts?
The desert receives little rainfall and plants have to compete for what little falls. They grow a distance for their neighbors to avoid competition and have a better chance of surviving.
