Question

in an ecosystem, organisms compete for different resources. intraspecific competition occurs when theres competition for resources between members of the same species. what do you think the word interspecific refers to? give an example with your explanation.

Explanation:

The prefix "intra -" means within, so "intraspecific" is within the same species. The prefix "inter -" means between. So "interspecific" likely refers to competition between different species. For example, lions and hyenas competing for the same prey (like zebras) in an African savanna ecosystem.

Answer:

Interspecific refers to competition between members of different species. Example: Lions and hyenas competing for zebras as prey.
