question 70
a community in ecology is defined as ______.
○ populations from multiple species interacting in the same place, and their surrounding environment
○ a population and its surrounding environment
○ living and nonliving things in one place
○ populations from multiple species interacting in the same place

Explanation:

In ecology, a community is defined as populations from multiple species interacting in the same place. The first option includes the surrounding environment which is part of an ecosystem (not just a community). The second option is a population - environment interaction (more about a population's relationship with the environment). The third option refers to an ecosystem (living and non - living things). The fourth option correctly focuses on multiple species populations interacting.

Answer:

populations from multiple species interacting in the same place
