Ecology: Study of Organism Interactions — NEET Biology
✅ Asked in NEET 2025You have already learnt in previous classes that Ecology is a subject which studies the interactions among organisms and between the organism and its physical (abiotic) environment.
Ecology fundamentally studies interactions between organisms (biotic) and their physical environment (abiotic). NTA tests whether students understand that ecology encompasses both biotic interactions (predation, competition, symbiosis) and abiotic factors (temperature, light, water). Students commonly mistake ecology as only studying individual organisms or only focusing on environmental factors, missing the interaction component. Remember: Ecology = Organism-to-organism interactions + Organism-to-environment interactions. This foundation is critical for NEET as all subsequent concepts (population dynamics, community interactions, ecosystem functions) build on understanding these relationships clearly.
Which one of the following pairs is a biotic component of the ecosystem?
