Questions and Answers
Biology - Correct answer-the scientific study of life
What is the fundamental property of ecosystems? - Correct answer-interactions
between the (living and nonliving)things in them
Life's hierarchy of organization - Correct answer-Biosphere > Ecosystem >
Community > Population > Organism > Organ System > Organ > Tissue > Cell >
Organelle > Molecule
Ecosystem - Correct answer-all the organisms living in a particular area, as well as
all the nonliving, physical components of the environment that affect the organisms
(air, soil, water, sunlight, etc).
Community - Correct answer-a group of all the organisms living together and
potentially interacting in a particular area
Population - Correct answer-a group of organisms of the same species living in the
same area at the same time, and which are capable of interbreeding.

Tissue - Correct answer-a group of similar cells that perform the same function.
Cell - Correct answer-basic unit of life
Organelle - Correct answer-a tiny cell structure that carries out a specific function
within the cell
Cell Membrane - Correct answer-an organelle that separates a cell from its
environment
Molecule - Correct answer-the simplest structural unit of an element or compound
