Question Detail
Question
A form of interaction between organisms where the effect is not easily identified is called: a. Direct interaction b. Complex interaction c. Indirect interaction d. Simple interaction
Correct Answer
Option C is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Indirect interactions occur when the effect of one species on another is mediated by a third species. For example, Species A affects Species B, which in turn affects Species C. The overall effect on Species C from Species A is indirect and can be harder to identify.
Hint
It's like a chain reaction; the effect is not a one-on-one relationship.
