Questions and Answers

What is the difference between ecology and environmentalism?

  • Ecology and environmentalism are the same thing.
  • Ecology is the study of environmental issues, while environmentalism is the study of ecological issues.
  • Ecology is the study of energy flow, chemical cycling, species interactions, population dynamics, and organism-environment relations, while environmentalism is a social and political movement. (correct)
  • Ecology is the study of the environment, while environmentalism is the study of ecosystems.

    • What is the difference between ecology and environmental science?

  • There is no difference between ecology and environmental science
  • Environmental science is the study of organisms and their environment, while ecology is the study of the environment and human impact on it.
  • Ecology is the study of organisms and their environment, while environmental science is the study of the environment and human impact on it. (correct)
  • Ecology and environmental science are the same thing.

    • What is the difference between ecology and environmentalism?

    Ecology studies the relationships between living organisms and their environment, while environmentalism is a social and political movement focused on protecting the environment.
