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
