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
- Types of interactions:
- 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
