Detailed explanation-1: -Population is defined as a group of individual of the same species, plant or animal, inhabiting a given area. Many such populations that are interacting with each other together form the community. The biotic community together with the abiotic environment together forms the ecosystem.

Detailed explanation-2: -A population is a group of individuals of the same species that live in the same geographic area that interbreed with each other. Many species consist of multiple populations dispersed over a few to many geographic areas.

Detailed explanation-3: -A population is defined as a group of organisms of the same species that live in a particular area. There can be more than one population living within any given area. There can be a population of Saguaro Cacti, a population of Cactus Wrens and a population of Bark Scorpion living in the same areas.

Detailed explanation-4: -A population is a group of organisms of the same species, all living in the same area and interacting with each other. Since they live together in one area, members of the same species reproduce together. Ecologists who study populations determine how healthy or stable the populations are.

Detailed explanation-5: -A community includes all the populations of the area. The community and the abiotic factors make up the ecosystem. An organism lives in its habitat within a community.
