A community simply describes the different population of organisms within a geographic range, it does include any physical characteristics, that's an ecosystem. Think about the organisms you listed and whether you think they could be found together.
doesn't*. Sorry about that.
To determine which items from the list would be included in a community, we need to understand what a community is. In the ecological sense, a community refers to a group of interacting organisms sharing a common environment.
Now, let's go through the list and determine which items would be included in a community:
1. Deer - Yes, deer can be part of a community as they are organisms that interact with other animals and plants in their environment.
2. Ticks - Yes, ticks can also be part of a community as they interact with other organisms such as animals and humans by feeding on their blood.
3. Mushrooms - Yes, mushrooms can be part of a community as they play a role in the ecosystem by decomposing organic matter and interacting with other organisms.
4. Rotting leaves - Yes, rotting leaves can be part of a community as they are an important component of the nutrient cycle, providing food and habitat for different organisms like insects, fungi, and bacteria.
5. Ladybug - Yes, ladybugs can be part of a community as they interact with other insects, plants, and their environment by feeding on pests and providing natural pest control.
6. 3 inches of rainfall - Rainfall itself is not a living organism, so it wouldn't be considered part of a community. However, it is an environmental factor that influences the community by providing water for organisms to survive and influencing their distribution.
7. Oak tree - Yes, oak trees can be part of a community as they provide shelter, food (acorns), and habitat for various organisms including insects, birds, mammals, and even other plants.
8. Soil - Yes, soil is an essential component of a community as it supports the growth of plants, provides habitat for microorganisms, and plays a role in nutrient cycling.
9. 75 degrees Celsius - 75 degrees Celsius is a temperature measurement that is too high for most organisms to survive. Therefore, it wouldn't be considered part of a community.
10. Kudzu - Yes, kudzu can be part of a community as it is a plant species that interacts with other plants, insects, animals, and the overall ecosystem.
11. 6 hours of daylight - While the duration of daylight is an environmental factor that influences the community's activities and behaviors, it is not a living organism and therefore not considered part of a community.
So, to summarize, the items that would be included in a community are: Deer, ticks, mushrooms, rotting leaves, ladybug, oak tree, soil, and kudzu. Each of these items interacts with other organisms and plays a role in the community's ecosystem.
