Help *biology Vocab* Will Give Points?


Please find the words that match with these definitions:
A) A measure of the richness, with regard to species, that is found within an area. The more varied an ecosystem is, the more stable the ecosystem.
B) Organisms, known as autotrophs, that synthesize their own food source (glucose) by using the process of photosynthesis.
C) All of the living populations that are found and interact within an ecosystem.
D) Complex interconnections that show the feeding relationships of organisms with an ecosystem. The more connections, the more stable the ecosystem.
E) The non living factors that influence living organisms such as water, temperature, soil, and atmosphere.
F) And organism that feeds exclusively on plant material — like deer.
G) The living organisms found within an ecosystem.
H) The realized role that an organism fills within an ecosystem. It defines where it fits within a food web or energy pyramid.
I) All living organisms that encompass the earth.
J) Organisms that must take in performed nutrients (organic compounds). These heterotrophs may ingest, absorb, or engulf their nutrients.
K) All living organisms of one species that live and interact within an ecosystem.
L) A model that shows the flow of energy in an ecosystem from producers to consumers. As energy flows up this model, it decreases being lost as heat.
M) The most biodiverse and stable stage of ecological succession.
N) Those resources that are unable to be replaced and, once used up, are gone. Fossil fuels are examples of this type of resource.
O) Organisms that exclusively feed on other animals. Example — Foxes, Wolves, ect.
P) The interactions of living organisms and non-living factors within a defined area.

Help! Any Biologists Or Biology Teachers?


This was a problem on the exam
There is species A and species B. They both feed on nectar. Species A feeds only during the day and Species B feeds only during the night. There is competition between A and B as their niche overlaps slightly. Both A and B can feed during day AND night if there was no competition.
There is a graph with the x axis being Time (from day to night) and Y axis being number of Nectar visits (or nectar use).
Species A has a much higher level of nectar visits than Species B and their niches overlap slightly.
Would this be an example of niche differentiation or competitive exclusion?
I first thought niche differentiation because A and B are using the nectar at different times to avoid competition, but at the same time, the niche of A and B overlaps slightly and species A has greater nectar use than species B. This would be a form of asymmetric competition and competitive exclusion would sound more likely. But then again, if both species A and B can use the nectar during BOTH day and night but are only excluded to using day or night to reduce competition, it sounds more like niche differentiation . WHICH ONE IS IT? Help someone? choosing best answer
here is a link to the graph I drew:

Biology Homework Help Please!?


A question I have to answer for my biology homework is “Explain how differences in the niche requirements of organisms can contribute to community patterns such as zonation:” and we have to relate it to the rocky shore. I have no clue on how to answer this does anyone know?
