What is a relationship in which organisms struggle with one another to obtain the material they need to live?

Competition. Either Contest or Scramble. Contest:- Involves organisms usually of the same species engaging in a physical contest to gain resources. Scramble:- All organisms in an environment trying to get as much of a resource as possible in order to survive.


Are fish heterotrophic organisms?

Yes, fish are heterotrophic organisms because they cannot produce their own food through photosynthesis. They rely on consuming other organisms or organic matter to obtain the energy and nutrients they need to survive.


Why do some organisms compete for food in an environment?

The simple answer would be resources. There is always a limited amount of resources, and when they are more scarce, competition is more fierce. Few animals (lions and hyenas are one example) compete out of a perceived hatred for each other (people may be another), so competition is usually about survival. Injury often equals death in the wild, so rarely will animals compete physically for food/water/territory/mating rights unless their livlihood depends on it.


Organisms that eat other organisms are called?

Organisms that eat other organisms are called consumers or predators.


Examples of organisms that obtain energy from the food they eat?

Examples of organisms that obtain energy from the food they eat include humans, lions, and cows. These organisms consume organic material to extract energy through processes like cellular respiration, allowing them to carry out their life functions and sustain metabolism.

What is struggle to survive in evolution?

The "struggle to survive", "survival of the fittest" and "natural selection" are all phrases to indicate the main guiding mechanism of evolution: differential reproductive success.


What are organisms that consume wastes to obtain the nutrients they need to survive?

decomposers


How do you obtain the resources you need to survive?

They obtain energy through the air and obtain oxygen through their gills to breath


Why do organisms in an ecosystem engage in relationships?

Organisms in an ecosystem engage in relationships to obtain resources such as food, shelter, and protection. These interactions help organisms survive, reproduce, and maintain a balanced ecosystem. Relationships also contribute to the flow of energy and nutrients within the ecosystem.

Why organisms must have food?

What is competition scientifically?

Competition in science refers to the process in which organisms vie for limited resources in their environment, such as food, mates, or shelter, to ensure their survival and reproduction. This can lead to natural selection and evolutionary changes within populations as those organisms with traits best suited to compete tend to pass on their genes to future generations.


How can competition limit a population growth?

what is carrying capacity?


How can competition limit a population size?

There is a limit to available resources and all organisms in an ecosystem compete for those resources. Those that are better adapted, will obtain higher amounts of those resources leaving less for those that do not have the best abilities. These organisms that did not obtain all the resources they needed will die therefore controlling population growth and the size of the population.
