Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This photo shows a group of different species (plants and animals) living in a particular area and interacting with each other and their physical environment (water, rocks, soil, etc.). This is an example of an ecosystem, which is defined as a community of organisms and their physical and chemical environment. A population refers to a group of individuals of the same species living in the same area. A community refers to all the populations of different species living in the same area. The biosphere is the entire planet and all its ecosystems. Equilibrium population refers to a theoretical concept in which a population remains stable over time due to equal rates of birth and death.
