Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The two given scenarios and decipher which of them is an example of interference competition and which one of the given is an example of exploitation competition. The two friends are sharing a milkshake each one having a straw. Under situation 1, both the friends drink from their respective straws, eventually consuming the entire milkshake together. While in the 2 situations, one of the two friends take both straws and drink the whole milkshake.

- Giraffes are herbivores found in Africa. They prefer to eat twigs and leaves from acacia trees. This type of producer–consumer relationship can be described as a predator–prey relationship or parasitism. how the interaction between giraffe and acacia tree can be a predator–prey relationship what instance the giraffe–acacia tree relationship would be parasiticarrow_forwardWhich organism represents the secondary consumer? Which organism represents the producer? Zooplankton Anchovy Salon Sea lionarrow_forwardWhich statement about the classic competition experiments involving two Paramecium species is FALSE? The experiment involved interspecific competition. The experiment involved exploitation competition. Each species, when grown alone, exhibited logistic growth. When grown together, the species exhibited logistic growth, but each reached a lower carrying capacity than when it was grown alone.arrow_forward
