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.
What is the term used when a struggle occurs between organisms for food water and energy when resources are limited?
Competition. The struggle of the fittest. The survival of the fittest.
Do wild ducks have a sense of smell?
Wild ducks have a limited sense of smell compared to other animals, but they can detect odors in their environment. They rely more on their vision and hearing to navigate and find food in the wild.
What four things do animals compete for to survive?
4 things that organisims compete for to meet their needs..... 1. space 2. food 3. water 4. shelter These things are all limited in an ecosystem, which is why competition occurs.
What idea did Malthus intrduce?
population would be limited by food supply
What occurs naturally between organisms living in an environment with limited resources?
Competition occurs naturally between organisms in environments with limited resources as they compete for access to food, water, shelter, and other resources necessary for survival and reproduction. This competition can drive adaptations, influence population dynamics, and shape community structure over time.
What is an example of a shortage that has a limited amount of?
Food available because the items are sold out
What limits the number of links in a food chain?
The number of links in a food chain is limited by the amount of available energy. As energy is transferred up the food chain, only about 10% is passed on to the next level. This inefficiency limits the number of trophic levels that can be sustained in a food chain.
Struggle that occurs between organisms for food water and energy when resources are limited?
This struggle is known as competition. Organisms must compete with one another for resources such as food, water, and energy when these resources are limited. The competition can be intense and can drive organisms to develop adaptations and strategies to outcompete others for survival.
What would be a limiting factor in an environment?
the amount of food or water available at any given time?
What limits the size of a prey population?
Populations are often limited by the amount of food and other resources that are available. They are also limited by natural disasters.

yes
In a study about primates food habits a scientist tracks the amount of food the primates consume when living in a cold environment This is an example of data?
quantitative
What is the average life span of a Moray eel?
35- 40 years depending on their environment and amount of food.
What is the average amount of food a peregrine falcon eats?
about two pigeons/ducks or whatever in the environment related to that.
Give an example of a chemical change that occurs in your living environment and a chemical change that occurs in your non living environment?
In my living environment, a chemical change occurs when food is digested in the stomach, where complex molecules are broken down into simpler ones. In my non-living environment, a chemical change occurs when iron rusts due to exposure to oxygen and moisture, forming iron oxide.
What growth rate of a population that has a limited food supply will most likely be?
A population with a limited food supply will most likely experience a slow or stagnant growth rate, often described as logistic growth. Initially, the population may grow rapidly, but as resources become scarce, the growth rate will decline and eventually stabilize around the carrying capacity of the environment. This balance occurs because competition for limited resources restricts population expansion, leading to increased mortality and reduced birth rates.
