The five major ecological interactions are predation, competition, parasitism, commensalism and mutualism.

(AND ONE MORE TOO .... AMENSALISM)

These five r classified on the basis of the way of interactions ... ie ., beneficial, detrimental and neutral interactions .

*PREDATION:

is a detrimental interaction between two species involving killing and eating of a species by the other. Here the species which eat the other r called predators and the consumed is called prey.

*COMPETITION:

is a detrimental interaction between two or more organism for obtaining the same resources . There are two types of competition : intra-specific competition and inter-specific competition.

*PARASITISM :

its a detrimental interaction between two different species in which one derives food and the other is host. in animals there are two types of parasite ie ., ectoparasite and endoparasite. in plants there are two types of parasite ie ., total parasite and partial parasite .

*COMMENSALISM:

is a neutral interaction of two species in which one is benefited and the other is not harmed. here benefited one is called commenced and the harmed one is called the host .

*MUTUALISM:

is a beneficial interaction in which both partners are benefitted .eg: symbiosis.

*amensalism :

is a neutral interaction of individuals of different species in which one individual suppress the growth of the other .

eg : blue mold inhibit the growth of different bacteria by producing penicillin.

How do interact with each other and their environment?

Organisms are not isolated in their environment. Organisms must interact with other individuals of their own species, with other species, and with their physical environment. The study of the interactions between organisms and their environment is called ecology (Greek: oikos- house; logia- study). The study of ecology can encompass all aspects of Biology; from physiology to behavior, because any change within an organism has the potential to affect its relationship with the environment.
