The size of the ecosystem under study Individual Organisms > Populations > Community > Ecosystem > Biosphere All the non-living things in an ecosystem, such as temperature, sunlight, and precipitation. The physical area where a species lives. Population of Bacteria A group of similar organisms that can breed and produce fertile offspring. Number of bacteria organisms living in the area Includes most of Earth, including part of the oceans and the atmosphere with living organisms. A group of organisms that are all the same species. The role a species plays in the ecosystem. Includes the living organisms (all the populations) in an area and the non-living aspects of the environment Explanation/answer based off of our experimental results OR observations of the some sort of phenomena (situation) Observations of the environment/situation AND/OR the data (observations) collected during experiment A single individual from a species. All the living things in an ecosystem, such as plants and animals. Two or more populations of different species that live in the same area and interact with one another.
