Ammensalism is ………type of Interaction :

(a) Why are herbivores considered similar to predators in the ecological context ? Explain. (b) Differentiate between the following interspecific interactions in a population : (i) Mutualism and Competition. (ii) Commensalism and Amensalism.

Population Interactions || Positive Interactions:- 1. Symbiosis 2. Proto-Cooperation

Mutualism | | Commensalism | | Protocooperation | | Negative interaction | | Parasitism

A female fig wasp enters the syconium of a fig pollinates the flowes and lays eggs in the ovarise of some of the flowers. The young larve grow up eat (and kill) some but not all of the seeds and complete their life cycle. The fig is completely dependent on fig wasps to pollinsate its flowers and the fig wasp requires figs to complete its life cycle the interaction between figs and fig wasp has aspects of I. mutualism II. host-parasite interation III. Competition IV. amensalism V. protocooperation selection the correct option

Assertion Commensalism is a type of positive interaction. Reason In commensalism, one organism is benefitted, while other is harmed.

Positive Interactions :- Commensalism || Negative Interactions:- 1.Predation 2. Parasitism
