  • An organism is a living thing.
  • A population is a group of organisms of the same kind that live together and reproduce in a particular place.
  • Population size is the number of organisms in a population.
  • Population size increases when organisms reproduce or when organisms  of the same kind move into a place with an abundance of food and water.
  • Population size decreases when organisms die or move out of a place in search of food and water.
  • A habitat is the place where an organism lives.
  • Habitats provide organisms with food, water, air, space and shelter for protection.
  • All the population living in a habitat depend on one another for survival. They are interdependent.
  • A community is formed when all the different populations of organisms living in a habitat comes together.
  • Different habitats support different communities.
