Learning objectives

StarterScientists use the words population and community when they study ecosystems. Which best describes how scientists use these words?

A. Population is used to describe the number of organisms in an area ; community describes the place where organisms live.

B. Population is used to describe all the different species living together in an area ; community describes all the nonliving features of the area species live in.

C. Population describes all the organisms of the same species living in the same area at the same time ; community describes all the populations living together in the same area at the same time.

D. Population describes the number of different organisms living in the same area at the same time ; community describes the area where these living things can be found.

E. Population describes the changing types and numbers of organisms in an area ; community describes the types and numbers of organisms in an area that do not change .
