Resource partitioning
Resource partitioning refers to differences in resource use
between species regardless of the origin of the differences. Similar species
can coexist in the same ecological community without one pushing the others to
extinction through competition. Species compete for the same resources which
include nutrients and habitats which are the raw materials needed by organisms
to grow, live, and reproduce. For the question given above, the divergence in
lizards is an example of resource partitioning.
Answer:
To determine the effect of toxin binding, you perform a Competitive Binding Experiment
Explanation:
Competitive binding experiments are very relevant when matters relating to cellular and or molecular toxicity are concerned.
They are used to determine the binding of a single concentration of labeled ligand in the presence of various concentrations of unlabeled ligand.
They are important because:
1. Validate a direct binding assay
2. Confirm whether or not a drug binds to the receptor
3. determine and explore how low-affinity drugs and receptors interact and it's resultant effects
