Summary Introduction

Introduction:

An organism is the smallest level of organization in terms of ecology. Taxonomically, organisms are divided into many different species.

Answer to Problem 1TYU

Correct Answer:

A community is defined as a geographical area which consists of different populations in a given time period.

Therefore, option (B) is correct.

Explanation of Solution

Reason for the correct statement:

A campus consists of a many different types of populations. The humans studying there make up one kind of population and others are formed by the different plants, trees, birds, insects etc. A community is also made up of different types of populations within an area over a time period.

Option (B) is given as “a community”.

“All the organisms on your campus make up a community”, it is the right answer.

Hence, the option (B) is correct.

Reasons for the incorrect statements:

Option (A) is given as “an ecosystem”.

An ecosystem consists of the non-living matters too, along with the living organisms. However, we are talking only about the living organisms. So, this is a wrong answer.

Option (C) is given as “a population”.

A population consists of organisms of the same species. However, the campus consists of many numbers of species. So, this is a wrong answer.

Option (D) is given as “a taxonomic domain”.

A domain is the highest in hierarchy in the classification system and encompasses a large number of organisms. So, this is a wrong answer.

Hence, options (A), (C) and (D) are incorrect.

Conclusion

All the organisms on a campus make up a community. A community is defined as a geographical area which consists of different types of populations in a given time period.

What are biofertilizers and mention the significance
PCBs and River Otters: Otters in Washington State’s Green-Duwamish River have high levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in their livers. PCBs can bind to the estrogen receptors in animals and disrupt the endocrine system of these otters. The PCBs seem to increase the estrogen to androgen ratio, skewing the ratio toward too much estrogen.     How would increased estrogen affect the river otter population? Based on your reading of the materials in this unit, what factors can affect fertility in humans?   Explain how each of the factors affecting human fertility that you described can disrupt the human endocrine system to affect reproduction.
