An association of individuals of different species living in the same habitat and having functional interactions is known as:
1. | Ecological niche | 2. | Biotic community |
3. | Ecosystem | 4. | Population |
1. | is the primary producer. |
2. | has no significant impact on the community. |
3. | plays a crucial role in maintaining community structure. |
4. | is a rare species that must be preserved immediately. |
I: | the level of biological organization, where the study is begun, is the organism. |
II: | a group of individuals resulting from asexual reproduction is also considered a population. |
I: | In ecology, the term “niche” describes the role an organism plays in a community. |
II: | A species’ niche encompasses both the physical and environmental conditions it requires and the interactions it has with other species. |
