A biological _____ consists of the different species within an area, typically a three-dimensional space, and the interactions within and among these species.

		community
		population
		ecosystem
		organism Match the following organisms with the type of method that would be used to measure population density. Bluebonnets B mark and capture skunks live oak tree truffles (a fungus that is a delicacy)

Answer 1

A biological community consists of the different species within an area, typically a three-dimensional space, and the interactions within and among these species.

Bluebonnets and Skunks are measured using B. Mark and capture method. This is for organisms that move around. It involves capturing of animals and marking them in some way using tags etc.

Live oak tree can be measured using A.quadrat method for plant community. Quadrat method is used for immobile organisms such as plants where plots called quadrats are used to measure population density.

Truffles can also be measured using A. quadrat method.
