Question

a student designed a model to represent a community.
what change should the student make to represent the community more accurately?
remove the tree from the model.
remove the elephant from the model.
add abiotic factors like water and soil to the model.
add more types of animals and plants to the model.

Explanation:

A community in an ecosystem consists of all the living organisms. To represent it more accurately, adding more types of animals and plants increases the diversity and comprehensiveness of the living - part of the community shown in the model. Removing the tree or elephant reduces the living components. Adding abiotic factors like water and soil represents the non - living part of the ecosystem, not the community.

Answer:

Add more types of animals and plants to the model.
