Question

An example of competition between members of two different species is

A) mold growing on a dead tree that has fallen in the forest
B) purple loosestrife plants growing in the same wet areas as cattail plants
C) a coyote feeding on the remains of a deer that died of starvation
D) two male turkeys displaying mating behaviors to attract a female turkey
Pls help

Answer 1

B) purple loosestrife plants growing in the same wet areas as cattail plants

Step-by-step explanation:

Competition between members of two species means that two different species are "fighting for" or desire the same resource. This resource could be shelter, food, territory, etc.

An organism cannot compete if it is already dead, so that eliminates answer choices A and C. Answer choice D is wrong because these are two organisms of the same species.

Answer choice B is correct because there are two different species competing for one area of land.
