    What is an ecosystem?

    • All of the biotic and abiotic factors in an area.

    • A place with a bunch of dead and alive things.

    • A systems of ecos that help animals survive in the environment.

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the biotic and abiotic factors in an area.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "All of the biotic and abiotic factors in an area." An ecosystem refers to the interaction between living organisms (biotic factors) and their non-living environment (abiotic factors) in a specific area. This includes the relationships, energy flow, and nutrient cycling among plants, animals, microorganisms, water, air, soil, and other components of the ecosystem. It encompasses both living and non-living elements that influence and sustain life within a particular ecological community.

    Abiotic means

    • Living.

    • Nonliving.

    • Dead.

    Correct Answer
    A. Nonliving.
    Explanation
    The term "abiotic" refers to factors or elements that are not associated with or derived from living organisms. It pertains to nonliving components of the environment, such as temperature, sunlight, water, air, and minerals. These abiotic factors play a crucial role in shaping ecosystems and influencing the distribution and abundance of living organisms. Therefore, the correct answer is "nonliving."

    Rate this question:

    The Greek word bio means

    • Life.

    • Death.

    • Earth.

    Correct Answer
    A. Life.
    Explanation
    The Greek word "bio" refers to life. This can be inferred from the fact that "bio" is derived from the Greek word "bios," which means life. Therefore, the correct answer is life.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Organisms have relationships can can help, hurt, or not effect one another.

    • True

    • False

    • Part of this statement is true and part is false.

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because organisms indeed have relationships with each other that can be beneficial, harmful, or have no effect. Organisms interact with each other in various ways, such as through predation, competition, mutualism, or commensalism. These relationships can have significant impacts on the individuals involved and the overall ecosystem.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    A relationship where one organism is helped and the other is hurt is called

    • Sybiosis

    • Mutualism

    • Parasitism

    Correct Answer
    A. Parasitism
    Explanation
    Parasitism is a type of relationship between two organisms where one organism benefits (the parasite) while the other organism is harmed (the host). The parasite relies on the host for resources and survival, often at the expense of the host's health or even its life. This type of relationship is characterized by the parasite benefiting and the host being negatively affected.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    The abiotic and biotic factors in an ecosystem

    • Do not effect each other at all.

    • Effect each other.

    • Are important for ecological environmental exploration.

    Correct Answer
    A. Effect each other.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "effect each other" because abiotic factors, such as temperature, sunlight, and soil composition, can directly impact the distribution and behavior of biotic factors, such as plants and animals. Similarly, biotic factors, such as predation and competition for resources, can influence the abundance and diversity of abiotic factors. Therefore, there is a mutual relationship between abiotic and biotic factors in an ecosystem, where they interact and influence each other's existence and functioning.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    A population is

    • A group of communitities.

    • A group of biomes.

    • A groups of individuals.

    Correct Answer
    A. A groups of individuals.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "a group of individuals." This is because a population refers to a collection of individuals of the same species living in a particular area at a given time. It is not a group of communities or biomes, as those terms refer to larger ecological units. A population, on the other hand, focuses on the individuals within a species and their interactions within a specific geographic area.
