Introduction:
A biome is the collection of different types of biodiversity in a vast area like continent or group of continents. The environment is made up the living components that are referred to as biotic components, and the non-living aspects called the abiotic components.
Answer to Problem 1MCQ
Correct answer:
The least inclusive is population which is followed by community, ecosystem and the most inclusive is biosphere. Hence, the correct answer is option d.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for correct answer:
Option d. is given as, “Population < community < ecosystem < biosphere.”
The biosphere is most inclusive which is followed by the ecosystem as it contains different communities and populations. The community comes after ecosystem as it contains many populations, where the population is least inclusive. Hence, option d. is correct.
Reason for incorrect answer:
Option a. is given as, “Community < biosphere < population < ecosystem.”
The biosphere is the most inclusive as it contains the whole of the ecosystem, population, and community, and the population is least inclusive. Hence, option a. is incorrect.
Option b. is given as, “Ecosystem < population < biosphere < community.”
The ecosystem contains the group of population and communities; thus; it cannot be the least inclusive, while biosphere contains all the ecosystem, population, and communities, so it is the most inclusive. Hence, option b. is incorrect.
Option c. is given as, “Biosphere < ecosystem < community < population.”
The population is the least inclusive as it contains the members of only a specified area and the biosphere is the most inclusive. Hence, option c. is incorrect.
Hence, the options a., b., and c. are correct
The biosphere is a collection of various ecosystems containing different communities made up of different populations, thereby making it the most inclusive, while the population is the least inclusive. Thus, the correct option is d.

- We will be starting a group project next week where you and your group will research and ultimately present on a current research article related to the biology of a pathogen that infects humans. 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.

- One of the ways for a cell to generate ATP is through the oxidative phosphorylation. In oxidative phosphorylation 3 ATP are produced from every one NADH molecule. In respiration, every glucose molecule produces 10 NADH molecules.
