Question
Chapter 38, Problem 4WIO
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The conclusions about the competition between the two species of paramecia and their relationship.
Concept introduction:
In this two species of paramecia are used when they are grown separately, each population was proportional to the amount of food but when both are grown on the same dish only one species survived.

Students have asked these similar questions
Define predation. How does the predator-prey relationship differ from the parasite-host relationship? Why is the evolutionary race be-tween predator and prey one that the predator cannot afford to win?
You are studying two new species that have a mutualistic relationship. How would you determine if the mutualism is facultative or obligate? What types of observational data would you collect and what type of experiment would you conduct?
Researchers have suggested that predators could actually increase the population density of a prey species heavily infested by a pathogenic parasite. Explain how predation could lead to population increases in the prey population.
