Question | Answer |
What is a habitat? | An environment that provides food, water, shelter, and other things an organism needs to live, grow and reproduce. |
What is an organism? | A living thing. |
What is a biotic factor? | The living parts of a habitat. |
What is an abiotic factor? | The non-living parts of a habitat (water, sunlight, oxygen, temperature, soil) |
What is a species? | A group of organisms that are physically similar and can mate and reproduce with each other |
What is a population? | A group of organisms in a particular area |
What is a community? | All the different populations that live together in an area. |
