Key Words:

Resource: substance or object in the environment required by an organism for normal growth

species: is a group of organisms that have similar traits and are able to produce fertile offspring.

Individual: a single member of a species

population: all the organisms of the same species that live in the same area at the same time

Community: is all the populations of different species that live together in the same area at the same time

Ecosystem: all the living and nonliving things in an area

Biosphere: The parts of Earth and the surrounding atmosphere where there is life.
