In the arctic, caribou and musk ox eat different kinds of plants, but the plants they eat typically grow in the same area. therefore, these two species often require the same space in which to feed. in one part of the arctic, caribou numbers have decreased and musk ox numbers have increased.
which best summarizes this scenario?
a) this is an example of cooperation, and the musk ox were better adapted to the environment.
b) this is an example of predation, and the musk ox were better adapted to the environment.
c) this is an example of competition, and the musk ox were better adapted to the environment.
d) this is an example of competition, and the caribou were better adapted to the environment.

your answer is c, because musk ox have a thick skin, and fat 2 protect them from predation & weather, they also adapted to available food sources. caribou have less body fat, and thinner fur which makes them more vulnerable to the environment also could only digest a certain kind of plant, therefore, restricting diet.hope this helps...

C. This is an example of competition, and the musk ox were better adapted to the environment.

photosynthesis makes the glucose that is used in cellular respiration to make atp. the glucose is then turned back into carbon dioxide, which is used in photosynthesis. while water is broken down to form oxygen during photosynthesis, in cellular respiration oxygen is combined with hydrogen to form water.
