Biology Question Bank for Entrance Exams
For AIPMT Main other Medical Entrance Exam Prepration, Question Bank for Biology Organism and Population is given below.
IMPORTANT POINTS
-> Ecology : The study of organism where they live
-> Ecology is divided in many branches, population ecology is one of them
-> Enviroment : Study of our surrounding factors and their interaction
-> Organisms where they live is known as habitat
-> They live in fresh water ponds, sea, esturine region and on land. Each habitat has its own characteristics.
-> Population : Group of organisms of same species living in same habitat at a species period.
-> Different organisms of a population interacts differently. It may be interspecific
-> It consists of species, variations, constituents and succession.
-> Biotic community is affected by biotic and abiotic factors.
-> characteristics of population : Density, mortality, age distribution, population equilibrium, population interaction.
-> Oragnism interacts with other organism in different ways (1) mutualism (2) competition (3) predation
(4) commensalism
