    • Ecology does not consider organisms at the molecular level.

    Practical Applications of Ecology

    • Ecology has practical applications in conservation, management of natural resources, and environmental policy.
    • Ecology is not directly applied to the study of human behavior or sociology.

    Scope of Ecology

    • Ecology encompasses the study of relationships between organisms and their environment, including the physical environment and other organisms.
    • Ecology does not overlap with the science of physics.
    • Ecology is closely related to sciences such as biology, chemistry, and geography.
