Relationships among organisms
Biotic and abiotic factors play an important (major) role in shaping our ecosystem. An organisms habitat is the area where an organism lives. The organisms occupation or role in the community is its niche. When organisms of the same or different species try to use the same resource at the same time and place, its called competition. Competition is major in an ecosystem because it is designed for only the strongest to survive (Survival of the Fittess). The Competitive Exclusion Principle is where no two species can occupy the same niche in the same habitat at the same time.
Their are four different relationships among organisms in an ecosystem: Predation, Mutualism, Commensalism and Parasitism. Below is a chart explaining the different relationships and examples of them.
