Describe what happened when the Paramecium populations were mixed in the same test tube. Do the results support the principle of competitive exclusion?When both parameciums were combined in the same test tube, the Aurelia began to grow more rapidly by day 4 and overtake the Caudatum. The results do support the principle of competitive exclusion, as seen by the decreasing number of Caudatum each day and the increasing numbers of Aurelia each day. By day 14 the Caudatum had been extinguished.Explain how this experiment demonstrates that no two species can occupy the same niche.This experiment shows that the strong will overpower the weak and eventually extinguish them if they are not intelligent species that can learn to co-exist with each other.Ecological FootprintYour Results (calculated carbon footprint for me only)Emissions Comparison Tons of CO2 eq/year31Your Estimated Emissions
