Which of the following statements is consistent with the competitive exclusion principle? a) bird species generally do not compete for nesting sites. b) the density of one competing species will have a positive impact on the population growth of the other competing species. c) two species with the same fundamental niche will exclude other competing species. d) even a slight reproductive advantage will eventually lead to the elimination of inferior species. e) evolution tends to increase competition between related species.

i am going to guess that it is co2.

which

it provides an alternative energy pathway for the reaction to proceed.

a catalyst is a substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction but is not consumed during the course of the reaction.

catalysts increase the rate of reaction without being used up. they do this by lowering the activation energy needed. with a catalyst, more collisions result in a reaction, so the rate of reaction increases. different reactions need different catalysts.

a catalyst works by providing an alternative reaction pathway to the reaction product. the rate of the reaction is increased as this alternative route has a lower activation energy than the reaction route not mediated by the catalyst.
