Question

1. which of the following conditions would likely result in the most competition for food? a. a lion and a zebra in the savanna b. an elephant and an ant colony in the savanna c. a grasshopper and a plant in your backyard d. a deer and a rabbit in a meadow

Explanation:

Competition for food occurs when two or more organisms rely on the same food source. A deer and a rabbit in a meadow are both herbivores that likely eat similar plant - based foods. A lion and a zebra are predator - prey (not competition). An elephant and an ant colony have very different food requirements (elephants eat large amounts of vegetation, ants have different food sources). A grasshopper and a plant is a consumer - producer relationship (not competition between two consumers for the same food type).

Answer:

d. a deer and a rabbit in a meadow
