Question

Step 8: Simulate an environment with equal amounts of insects and seeds, but no fruit.
Which flock will be able to eat the most? The least? Why?

Answer 1

Answer:

The species X will be able to eat the most as it is an Omnivore. The omnivorous flock will eat the most as it eats both insects and seeds.

Answer 2

Answer:

Flock X will be able to eat the most and flock Y will be able to eat the least.

Explanation:

Let the omnivorous insects be X and the herbivorous ones be Y.

So, the flock comprising omnivorous insects will eat the most because they can feed on both insects as well as seeds. On the other hand. the flock comprising herbivorous insects will eat the least because there will be a competition between the same species for food since there is a limited amount of seeds.

Hence flock x will be able to eat the most and flock y will be able to eat the least.
