Concept explainers
All the organisms on your campus make up
- A. an ecosystem
- B. a community
- C. a population
- D. a taxonomic domain
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.
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.

The article could be about the pathogen itself, the disease process related to the pathogen, the immune response to the pathogen, vaccines or treatments that affect the pathogen, or other biology-related study about the pathogen. I recommend that you choose a pathogen that is currently interesting to researchers, so that you will be able to find plenty of articles about it. Avoid choosing a historical disease that no longer circulates. List 3 possible pathogens or diseases that you might want to do for your group project.arrow_forward

In oxidative phosphorylation 3 ATP are produced from every one NADH molecule. In respiration, every glucose molecule produces 10 NADH molecules.
