Question

Match each interaction that poses a limiting factor to its characteristic.

Answer 1

Answer:

The proper matching is given below.

Explanation:

Predation   Typical plant defence include(thorns,sticky substances) and chemicals(toxin,bad tastingchemicals) adaptation.

Competition  When individuals fight for a common resource,the weaker one experience loss or affected adversely.

Disease       pathogens can be transmitted to host by direct contact between hosts o through soil,water,air or any other surface.

Symbiosis    This interaction is of three types : mutalism,Commensalism and parasitism.

Answer 2

• symbiosis: This interaction is of three types: mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism. Symbiosis is an interspecific ecological interaction, that is, between organisms of different species, occurring in a compulsory and harmonious manner, allowing reciprocal advantages for the species involved. This association is permanent, causing dependence indispensable to the survival of the parties, and can no longer detach from each other. It can be classified as utilitarianism, commensalism and parasitism.
• competition: When individuals fight for a common resource, the weaker ones experience loss or are affected adversely. Competition is a disharmonic ecological relationship that can involve individuals of different species (interspecific), promoting competition for one or more environmental resources: water, food, light and physical space, as well as between individuals of the same species (intraspecific). In addition to other resources, there is also a dispute between specimens of the same gender (male-male feud), seeking reproductive partners able to proliferate fertile descendants.
• diseases : Pathogens can be transmitted to a host by direct contact between hosts or through soil, water, air, or any other surface.  Diseases are disorders that alter the activities of some organ or even the whole organism, usually giving rise to unpleasant signs and symptoms. The causes are most diverse and can be triggered by pathogenic organisms such as viruses and bacteria, genetic problems, emotional factors and in some cases completely unknown factors.
• predation: Typical plant defenses include physical (thorns, sticky substances) and chemical (toxins, bad-tasting chemicals) adaptations. Predation is an ecological relationship that occurs between individuals of different species and is therefore interspecific. In this case, only one of those involved benefits, so many authors classify it as an inharmonious relationship. Some plants are predatory (feed on small insects) and may have some defenses such as thorns, sticky substances, toxins, among others).
