sure its really quite simple..............
ecology is basically a study of ecosystem...
what is ecosystem?
in a particular habitat-(place where organisms live)-when different organisms interact with one another and with their surrounding environment(both biotic and abiotic) this is called ecosystem
and the study of the interaction of the different organisms with one another is called ecology.

heyy me i would suggest u to work all cie biology papers paper 2 and mark yourself by looking its marking scheme and after u work out one paper then revise all the mark scheme but overall u must time u up for 1hr45mins and if u r terribly stacked anywhere then use your textbook bt jst revise main points and close your book try to memorize. ;)
