This principle is easy to see in frugivores, grainivores, and carnivores that use discrete food packets, such as an insect or seed (Hanley 1982). MacArthur (1958) clearly demonstrated that each species is uniquely adapted to their niche and their competitive advantage prevents niche…

The energy currency for almost all living organisms is a compound called ATP, or adenosine tri-phosphate. This compound is made of up one adenine and three phosphate molecules which link together to form a structure like this: Adenosine Notice that the three bonds within this molecule become increasingly longer the farther away the phosphate is from the adenosine.
