Explanation:

An organism is a single - living entity. A population is a group of the same species living in the same area. A community is all the living organisms in an area. An ecosystem includes both living and non - living components of an area. A colony of ants is a group of the same species (ants), so it's a population. The living organisms around and in a lake are all the living things in that area, so it's a community. A pond and the land around it with water, grasses, and animals includes both living and non - living parts, so it's an ecosystem. A grasshopper is a single living thing, so it's an organism. The living and non - living parts of a forest is an ecosystem.

a colony of ants: a population
the living organisms around and in a lake: a community
