Question

a(n) ____ is all the living and nonliving factors in a particular place. options: lake, ecosystem, community, biome. what is biodiversity? options: the variety of organisms, the organisms genetic differences, and the ecosystems they occur; studying multiple aspects of biology; the selective process which determines how well an ecosystem will survive; all of the different types of dirt and mud found in an ecosystem. what is an example of an ecosystem? options: a man - made pond stocked with catfish and turtles; a lion sanctuary with male and female lions; a natural pond with fish, turtles, frogs, and ducks, lily pads but not including the nonliving things; a natural pond with fish, turtles, frogs, ducks, local mud, local plants, and all living and nonliving things.

Explanation:

1. An ecosystem encompasses all living (biotic) and non - living (abiotic) factors in a particular place. A lake is just a body of water, a community is only the living organisms, and a biome is a large region with distinct climate and characteristic plant and animal communities.
2. Biodiversity refers to the variety of organisms, their genetic differences, and the ecosystems they occur in. It's not about studying biology, a selective process for ecosystem survival, or types of dirt and mud.
3. An ecosystem includes all living and non - living things in a particular area. So a natural pond with fish, turtles, frogs, ducks, local mud, local plants, and all living and non - living things is an example. A man - made pond with just catfish and turtles lacks non - living aspects, a lion sanctuary is mainly about living organisms only, and a natural pond without non - living things is not a complete ecosystem.

Answer:

1. ecosystem
2. The variety of organisms, the organisms' genetic differences, and the ecosystems they occur
3. A natural pond with fish, turtles, frogs, ducks, local mud, local plants, and all living and nonliving things
