ORGANISM AND POPULATION CLASS 11TH NEET BIOLOGY HANDWRITTEN NOTES

Description

Here is a concise outline of the key topics covered in the chapter “Organisms and Populations” for Class 11 Biology, important for NEET preparation:

Introduction

Definition and scope of ecology

Levels of biological organization (organism, population, community, ecosystem, biome, biosphere)

Organism and Its Environment

Major abiotic factors (temperature, water, light, soil)

Responses to abiotic factors (conformers, regulators, migration, hibernation, aestivation)

Adaptations

Behavioral adaptations

Physiological adaptations

Morphological adaptations

Population Ecology

Definition and characteristics of a population

Population attributes (birth rate, death rate, sex ratio, age distribution)

Population density

Population Growth

Exponential growth (J-shaped curve)

Logistic growth (S-shaped curve)

Carrying capacity

Growth models

Life History Variations

r-selected species

K-selected species

Population Interactions

Types of interactions:

Mutualism

Competition

Predation

Parasitism

Commensalism

Amensalism

Examples of Population Interactions

Predator-prey relationships

Parasite-host relationships

Plant-pollinator interactions

Population Regulation

Density-dependent factors

Density-independent factors

These topics cover the essential aspects of organisms and populations, crucial for understanding ecological relationships and dynamics, and preparing for NEET Biology
