  5. B. Populations – groups of individuals that belong to the same species and live in the same area.

  6. C. Communities – Groups of different populations that live together in a defined area.

  7. D. Ecosystem- Includes all the livings organisms (biotic) and nonliving things (abiotic) in a particular place (large area)

  8. E. Biome – Group of ecosystems that have the same climate and similar dominant communities, such as plants and animals of similarity.
