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.

- As a medical professional, it is important to be able to discuss how genetic processes such as translation regulation can directly affect patients. Think about some situations that might involve translation regulation. Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words: Why is translation regulation important? What are some examples of translation regulation in humans? Select one of the examples you provided and explain what happens when translation regulation goes wrong.arrow_forwardThe metabolic pathway below is used for the production of the purine nucleotides adenosine monophosphate (AMP) and guanosine monophosphate (GMP) in eukaryotic cells. Assume each arrow represents a reaction catalyzed by a different enzyme. Using the principles of feedback inhibition, propose a regulatory scheme for this pathway that ensures an adequate supply of both AMP and GMP, and prevents the buildup of Intermediates A through G when supplies of both AMP and GMP are adequate.arrow_forwardQUESTION 27 Label the structures marked A, B, C and explain the role of structure A.
