Question

question 5 of 10
what does a community contain that a population does not?

a. multiple organisms

b. biotic factors

c. multiple species

d. abiotic factors

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall definitions: A population is a group of individuals of the same species in an area. A community is all the populations (different species) in an area.

• Option A: Both population (multiple same - species organisms) and community have multiple organisms. Eliminate A.
• Option B: Biotic factors (living components) are present in both population (organisms are biotic) and community. Eliminate B.
• Option C: A population has only one species, while a community has multiple species (different populations). This fits.
• Option D: Abiotic factors (non - living) are part of the ecosystem, not the community (community is only biotic) or population. Eliminate D.

Answer:

C. Multiple species
