Two species of grasshoppers live in the same area. They both feed on plants, but the presence of one species does not affect either the survival or the reproduction of the other. What type of competition is this?

A. This is not an example of competition.
B. Interference
C. Asymmetrical
D. Exploitative

Option A, This is not an example of competition.

Explanation:

Competition between two species occur when they strive for the same limited resources in a given habitat Or when they compete to attract the opposite gender mate for reproduction. Competition can be between two organisms of the same or different species.  

In this case, the two grasshopper species are not competing at all. If they would have competed, then the  survival of one species would have been definitely affected by the presence of other species.  

Hence, option A is correct

step 1 ammonium can be absorbed by plants, but some is converted into nitrates which are better for plants to absorb. this is called nitrification. 2. step 2 the deer eats the plants and uses the nitrogen-containing proteins for cell growth. 3. step 3 bacteria in the soil conduct nitrogen fixation to convert nitrogen gas from the atmosphere into ammonium. 4. step 4 some of the nitrates are absorbed back into plants, but denitrification breaks down the nitrates into nitrogen gas released back into the atmosphere. 5. step 5 nitrogen is found in the urine, which gets broken down into ammonium through the process of ammonification. 6. step 6 plants absorb the ammonium and begin assimilation, the process to add the nitrogen to protein.

the correct option is option d
