To explain:
Population relates to an ecosystem.
Introduction:
Ecosystem can be described as the interaction between the abiotic and biotic components of the environment. The abiotic components includes air, water, soil, light energy and minerals. These components are used by the biotic constituents, the plants and animals, to survive. The relationship between the organisms and the abiotic components shapes up the ecosystem.
Explanation of Solution
When over a period of time, a group of individuals of a given species live in specific geographical area, then it is known as population. The individuals make up a population and different populations and their interactions make up the ecosystem.
The living organisms interact with each other and with the abiotic components to form an ecosystem. The different physical and chemical components shape up the ecosystem and govern the type of flora and fauna found within it. The living organisms grow, and reproduce when favorable environmental conditions prevail. The physical and chemical components affect the environment and affect the food and breeding habits of the individuals. As the different factors shape up the life of an individual living organisms adapt to their environment so as to best suited. In turn, during their life span population based on a geographical area, impacts the ecosystem of that area. The different biotic and abiotic factors influence the density, dispersion, and
On the other hand, ecosystem also affects the distribution, abundance and growth of the populations. The environments constantly change and natural selection continually sorts out the fittest individuals within the population. It allows populations to respond to changes in physio-chemical environment, diseases, predators and competitions.
Different types of variations in population from different geographical areas exhibit variations. The variations in ecosystem affect the breeding frequency, pattern of growth and offspring production in individuals of a population. These changes have profound effects on the dynamics of population and ecosystem.

You must complete your entry before you will be able to see the responses of other students. Responses to other students are encouraged but not required. Grading for discussion entries will be based on application of course concepts, proper grammar, and correct punctuation. Read one the attached article and explore the Human Development Index (https://hdr.undp.org/data-center/human-development-index#/indicies/HDI). In your opinion, is the Human Development Index a good measure of the well- being of the people of a nation? Are the items measured in the HDI valid and relevant in the modern global economy? How are they related to the political economy of a nation? The attached articles propose some alternative measures of well-being. In your opinion, are there other measures of well-being that might be better alternatives to the items in the current HDI?arrow_forwardA patient visits her doctor with symptoms typical of a bladder infection. She is immediately prescribed an 800 mgdose of antibiotic (bioavailability = 1/2, t½ = 12 h). The corresponding plasma concentration of drug is found to be 96 micrograms/ml.
