A population of organisms has two properties which is the “cooperation” and

“competition” that makes them different to those individuals that make up the
population. Relationships among them can be characterized by positive and negative
effects. Species interactions strongly influence the structure of communities. The
community is composed of different interactions: the interspecific competition,
predation, herbivory, and symbiosis. In interspecific competition, the individuals of
different species compete for their growth and survival. In predation, it is an interaction
where in the strongest survive and the weak do not. A predator catches, attacks and
eats its prey. In herbivory, the organisms here eat a parts of a plant. Symbiotic
relationship has three types, the first one is parasitism. The organisms in parasitism
benefits at the expense of the other organism. The second type is the commensalism,
the organism benefits at the other organism is neither helped nor harmed. The third type
is the mutualism; it is a relationship in which both organisms benefit. The community
structure is measured and describe in terms of its biodiversity.

Population interactions has a property that organisms are different from each individual that
sum up the population of a specific place. There is two factor that can affect the population
interactions; cooperation and competition can affect the relationship of each individuals
living in, it is characterized by positive and negative effects. Community interactions is
classified by whether they help, harm or doesn’t affect the species that is involved. Structure
of communities is influence by big factor of species interactions to each other. And the
community is built up by the populations of different species in a specific area. The
community is composed of different community interactions: the interspecific competition,
predation, herbivory, symbiosis has three types: the parasitism, mutualism and
commensalism. Interspecific competition where individuals of different species where
compete for a resource that limits their growth and survival. While predation is different
from interspecific competition, this interaction where one organism hunt or capture the prey
to be feed on, the hunter is called predator while the organism that is meant to be hunt is
called prey. Herbivory where an organism eat parts of a plant, but plants has their own self
defense to protect themselves from being eaten, chemical defenses release chemicals that
can be toxic or taste bad, mechanical defenses that body of plants is made of prickles,
thorns, spines and trichomes, thigmonasty the plants responses by touch, the leaves curl up
or close and the last one is leaf shedding or warning coloration that the organism think it is
dangerous to eat. The las one community interaction is symbiosis has three types, the
parasitism a symbiotic relationship where one organism benefits at the expense of the other
organism, commensalism a symbiotic relationship the organism benefits while the other one
doesn’t affect by it and the last one is mutualism a symbiotic relationship which both
organisms benefit each other. The community structure is measured and describe in terms
of its biodiversity.
