Ecology Ecology is the study of interactions between organisms and the living and non-living components of their environment. It involves collecting information about organisms and observing their life patterns as well. Ecology is a science that seeks to explain why patterns occur the way they do. Interdependence is a key component of biology‚ meaning that all the organism interact with one another in various ways. Its very crucial for organisms since they all depend on one another

In ecology‚ competition occurs between any organisms living in a mutual habitat. Competition can either be harmful or helpful to each organism‚ whether it is for food‚ water‚ shelter‚ etc. There are two basic types of competition: intraspecific competition or interspecific competition. Intraspecific competition is the competition that occurs between the individuals of the same species (T. Smith & R. Smith pg. 222). On the other hand‚ interspecific competition is the competition that occurs between

Describe and evaluate the evolutionary theory of food preferences According to an evolutionary approach current human behaviour can be understood in terms of how it may have been adaptive in our ancestral past. Evolutionary theorists are concerned with behaviour which is adaptive and having survival value‚ these researchers look for ultimate explanations. Current behaviours may be maladaptive and dysfunctional but can be understood as having been adaptive and functional in some way. To undertake

(Dennis & Merrill 2006) have stated that since audiences can be directly involved with the media and its content‚ the line between professional and amateur journalists have been blurred. The convergence of technology and news media enabled anybody to create and share content over the internet enabling them to express opinions‚ issues and criticism through platforms such as Facebook

Describe and account for the relationship between earthquakes and volcanic activity The close relationship between earthquakes and volcanic activity is evident from the maps depicting the locations which are prone to both. Volcanism is associated with two of the plate boundary types: divergent and convergent margins‚ so activity is usually found along oceanic ridges where plates are moving apart‚ near rift valleys‚ on subduction zones where the most violent activity takes place and over hot spots

Describe the evolutionary explanation of gender development Evolutionary psychology is based on the ideas that our behaviour is influenced by our instincts left over from our evolutionary past. These behaviours were adaptive to increase the chances of survival and reproduction. Natural selection is the idea that the individual who is best adapted to the environment will survive and pass on their genes. Sexual selection is the idea that species have developed specific behaviours and physical

Pollination is service provided by insects and other small animals. Also Honey-bees distribute pollen among plants of the same species. This function of ecosystem could not be imitated by any jet invented technology. Plants
