Question

read the passage. then answer the question below. a terrarium is a garden that is grown in a glass container. when the container is open to allow evaporation, it becomes a good habitat for plants from dry environments. to allow the soil to drain so it does not get too wet, people add crushed rocks to the soil. succulents are plants that store water in their leaves and stems, allowing them to survive in dry environments. succulents such as pincushion moss, echeveria, and moon cactus grow well in an open terrarium. in a terrarium, the pincushion moss, the echeveria, and the moon cactus make up which of the following? select all that apply. a population part of a community part of an ecosystem

Explanation:

• A population is a group of the same species. Since pincushion moss, echeveria, and moon cactus are different species, they do not form a population.
• A community is all the different populations (species) in an area. These plants are different species in the terrarium, so they are part of a community.
• An ecosystem includes all the living (biotic) and non - living (abiotic) components in an area. The terrarium has living plants (biotic) and non - living components like soil, crushed rocks (abiotic), so the plants are part of an ecosystem.

Answer:

B. part of a community, C. part of an ecosystem
