Competition
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.
Competition. The struggle of the fittest. The survival of the fittest.
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.
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.
population would be limited by food supply
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.
Food available because the items are sold out
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.
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.
the amount of food or water available at any given time?
Populations are often limited by the amount of food and other resources that are available. They are also limited by natural disasters.
yes
quantitative
35- 40 years depending on their environment and amount of food.
about two pigeons/ducks or whatever in the environment related to that.
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.
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.
