| 2. | Interactions between members of a single species only |
| 3. | Interactions of organisms among themselves as well as with their surrounding abiotic components |
| 4. | Intraspecific competitions only |

Members of a population
| 1. | Can interbreed and produce fertile offsprings |
| 2. | Share a common gene pool |
| 3. | Share or competitor for similar resources |
| 4. | More than one option is correct |
| 1. | All the biological factors in the organism environment |
| 2. | The physical space where an organism live |
| 3. | The range of temperature that the organism needs to live |
| 4. | The functional role played by the organism where it lives |
| 1. | natality; demography |
| 2. | exploitation competition; interference competition |
| 3. | mortality; natality |
| 4. | natality; mortality |
| A: | For plants, herbivores are the predators. |
| B: | A wide variety of chemical substances (nicotine, caffeine, quinine, strychnine, opium, etc.,) are produced by plants actually as defences against grazers and browsers. |
