Question 10 • Science 7 B (M12 25/26 S2)

Which is the best example of competition in a forest ecosystem?

Answer
A
A colony of bees builds and protects a hive together.
B
Ticks live and feed on deer.
C
Wolves hunt and eat rabbits.
D
Blue jays and finches nest in the same oak trees.

Explanation

Competition occurs when organisms use the same limited resource. Blue jays and finches nesting in the same oak trees may compete for nesting sites. Bees cooperating is not competition, while ticks feeding on deer and wolves eating rabbits are examples of parasitism and predation, respectively.
