Q: What occurs when individuals of different species strive for a limited resource in the same area? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Interspecific competition happens when individuals of different species strive for a limited resource in the same area. Since any two species have different traits, one species will be able to out-compete the other. One species will be better adapted to its environment, and essentially "win" the competition. The other species will have lower reproductive success and lower population growth, resulting in a lower survival rate. For example, cheetahs and lions feed on similar prey. If prey is limited, then lions may catch more prey than cheetahs. This will force the cheetahs to either leave the area or suffer a decrease in population. Choices: - vegetal competition - asexual competition - intraspecific competition - interspecific competition A:
**Answer**
interspecific competition

Q: What is the name of the outer layer of skin? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: The epidermis is the outer layer of skin, consisting of epithelial cells and little else (see Figure below ). For example, there are no nerve endings or blood vessels in the epidermis. The innermost cells of the epidermis are continuously dividing through mitosis to form new cells. The newly formed cells move up through the epidermis toward the skin surface, while producing a tough, fibrous protein called keratin . The cells become filled with keratin and die by the time they reach the surface, where they form a protective, waterproof layer called the stratum corneum . The dead cells are gradually shed from the surface of the skin and replaced by other cells. Choices: - endodermis - hypodermis - the dermis - the epidermis A:
**Answer**
the epidermis
