What do prey do to prevent other organisms from predation Some prey m other organisms in order to prevent predation?

To prevent other organisms from predation, the prey adopt morphological and behavioral defenses such as odor.


An example for evolution?

My favourite example of evolution is the development of multicellular organisms (this has also been observed). A kind of eukaryotic cell once started to bind to its fellow cells in order to make it more difficult for predators to kill them. This is an example of evolution as a result of predation, a selective agent.

What are three main ways organisms interact?

Organisms can interact through competition for resources, such as food or territory. They can also interact through predation, where one organism consumes another for energy. Lastly, organisms can engage in mutualistic relationships, where both benefit from the interaction such as in the case of pollination between flowers and bees.


Is predation similar to competition?

Predation and competition are both interactions between organisms, but they are not the same. Predation involves one organism consuming another for nutrition, while competition occurs when organisms vie for limited resources like food, water, or territory within the same ecological community.


What are major ways in which organisms in an ecosystem interact?

Describe the types of environmental pressures faced by living organisms?

Living organisms face environmental pressures such as competition for resources, predation, disease, and changes in climate. These pressures drive evolution by selecting for individuals with advantageous traits that increase their chances of survival and reproduction. Organisms must adapt to these pressures in order to thrive in their environment.
