Solution
d) Interaction with other species for space or resources-classical example of paramecia
1st diagram: Here both the species of paramecium P. aurelia and P. caudatumare are gwown
separately. In this case there is no competition between both species. Therefore these are
growing in number and number is increasing with time (days).
2nd diagram: Here both the species of paramecium P. aurelia and P. caudatumare gwown are
grown together. Here you can see that one species population is increasing (P. aurelia) and other
is decreasing (P. caudatumare). Here ‘Principle of Competitive Exclusion’ works. When two
species are too similar, they cannot co-exsits because one of them will prove superior (dominant)
competitor. In other words we can say that two species cannot co-exist when they are actively
dependent on same resources.
d) Seasonal effect of weather (regular or catastrophic) strips example
Change in weather also effects the growth of a particular species. One species grow well in
winters whereas other in summer or autumn. As the favourable season changes the regular
growth is inhibited and whole population is destroyed (catastrophe).
