Question

use the information to answer questions.
a student is constructing a model to illustrate the levels of organization for life on earth.

(chart with biosphere, 1, 2, community, 3, organism in boxes with arrows)

which levels should the student add to the model to show the correct hierarchy?

\\(\circ\\) 1: biome; 2: population; 3: ecosystem
\\(\circ\\) 1: biome; 2: ecosystem; 3: population
\\(\circ\\) 1: ecosystem; 2: biome; 3: population
\\(\circ\\) 1: population; 2: biome; 3: ecosystem

Explanation:

Step1: Recall hierarchy order

The correct hierarchical order of ecological organization from broadest to most specific is: Biosphere → Biome → Ecosystem → Community → Population → Organism.

Step2: Match to model slots

Slot 1 (after Biosphere): Biome
Slot 2 (after Biome): Ecosystem
Slot 3 (after Community): Population

Step3: Select correct option

This matches option B.

Answer:

B. 1: Biome; 2: Ecosystem; 3: Population
