1. To answer question 1, we need to understand what the term "biome" means. A biome refers to a large geographical area on Earth that contains distinct ecosystems. It is made up of various habitats, such as forests, rivers, or deserts, each with its own unique community of organisms. So, the answer to question 1 is "biome".
2. Question 2 asks about the interconnectedness of living and non-living parts of an ecosystem. To find the answer, we need to understand what an ecosystem is. An ecosystem is a community of living organisms (biotic factors) and their physical environment (abiotic factors) that interact with each other. This interaction is essential for the survival and balance of the ecosystem. Therefore, the answer to question 2 is "living and non-living".
3. The answer to question 3 lies in understanding the relationship between living organisms and the abiotic factors in an ecosystem. Living organisms in an ecosystem depend on the abiotic, or non-living, parts of the ecosystem for their survival. These abiotic factors include elements such as sunlight, water, temperature, soil composition, and air quality, which provide essential resources and conditions for life. Hence, the answer to question 3 is "living organisms and abiotic".
4. Question 4 asks for examples of abiotic factors that could be found in an ecosystem. To answer this question, we can think about some common abiotic factors in different ecosystems. Examples could include water (availability and quality), climate (temperature and rainfall patterns), sunlight (amount and intensity), soil composition (minerals and nutrients), air quality (oxygen and carbon dioxide levels), and topography (elevation and slope). These abiotic factors play crucial roles in shaping and influencing the organisms and communities within an ecosystem.
5. For question 5, we need to know what a community consists of within an ecosystem. In ecology, a community refers to a group of different species living and interacting together in a specific area or habitat within an ecosystem. So, the answer to question 5 is "community and species".
6. Question 6 asks about populations and species. In the context of ecology, a population is a group of individual organisms of the same species that live in the same area and can interbreed. A species refers to a particular type of organism, and it consists of all the individuals that share common characteristics and can reproduce with one another. Therefore, the answer to question 6 is "population and species".
7. Finally, for question 7, we need to define what an organism is and its relationship to species. An organism refers to any individual living being, whether it is a plant, animal, or microorganism. Each unique type of organism is called a species when it has distinct characteristics and can reproduce to produce fertile offspring. Hence, the answer to question 7 is "organism".
