(answers to 1-20)
1. Wildfire in a forest ecosystem could immediately impact competition by eliminating or damaging the vegetation that serves as a food source for various organisms. This would reduce the available resources for those organisms, leading to increased competition among them.
2. The scenario that would cause a decrease in competition between the two prides of lions for the same prey (antelope) would be if the antelope population increased significantly. This would provide more prey for each pride, reducing the need for direct competition and decreasing the intensity of competition between them.
