Question

a group of snails (of the same species) lives in a garden that also includes beetles and tomato plants. what level(s) of ecological organization does the group of snails belong to? select all that apply. organism population community ecosystem submit request answer

Explanation:

• Organism: This refers to a single individual, not a group of the same species, so the snail group does not fit this level.
• Population: A population is defined as a group of individuals of the same species living in the same area. The snails are the same species in one garden, so this applies.
• Community: A community includes all different species (living organisms) in a given area. The snail group is part of the garden's community (along with beetles and tomato plants), so this applies.
• Ecosystem: An ecosystem includes all living organisms plus the non-living (abiotic) components of the environment. The snail group alone is not the full ecosystem, so this does not apply.

Answer:

B. Population
C. Community
