Multiple Choice

Which of the following would be considered an example of competition?

• B) Some spiders do not build webs, but live in the web of another species. When a prey item is caught in the web, the non-web building spider will sneak in and steal the prey.
• C) A praying mantis hunting and eating a fly is an example.
• D) The longest tapeworm removed from a human was approximately 11 meters long. Tapeworms do not have a digestive system, but obtains all of their nutrients from the host.
