Question

Synecology is the study of inter-relationship between an environment and
A. Individual plant
B. A population
C. A community
D. Individual animal

Answer 1

Hint: The two components of nature are organisms and their environment which are inter-related to each other. This relation is complex, dynamic but independent at the same time. Ecology defines this relationship. It is the branch of biology which deals with the relations of organisms to one another and to their environment. This word is given by German biologist Ernest Haeckel. It has two main branches:
(a) Autecology: also known as an ecology of individuals in which it deals with the study of the relation of individuals species to its environment.
(b) Synecology: It is the study of the relationship between groups of organisms and their environment.

Complete answer:
(A) Individual plant: Individual plant is considered separately rather than as part of a group of plants. Group of plants together grown at a particular space is known as a crop. It means a single plant in space.
(B) A population: It is a group of similar species in a particular space or geographical area. They are of two types:
-Single species (population of a group of similar type of species in an area)
-Mixed species (population in which different species come together to form one)
(C) A community: It is groups of organisms/association of populations of two or more different species occupying the same geographical area. It contains a large variety of species.
(D) Individual animal: Individual animal is considered separately rather than as part of a group of animals. It means a single animal present in an area.

Hence, the correct answer is option (C).

Note: In the above, the ecology and the relationship between organisms and their environment. The level of organization in ecology which includes individual, population, community, ecosystem and biosphere.
