iGCSE Biology: Populations

Learn the key ecological definitions of population, community, and ecosystem. Understand the phases of sigmoid population growth curves and the limiting factors that cause them.

The elephants fill the frame, conveying the immense scale of the population thriving within its natural ecosystem, with golden hour light casting long shadows.

Lesson#1
In ecology, we study how organisms interact with each other and their environment. We start with the basic unit of a single species. A population is defined as all the organisms of one species living in the same area at the same time.
Quiz#2
What is the definition of a population in ecology?

all the organisms of one species living in the same area at the same time

Lesson#3
Of course, very few organisms live in isolation. When you have populations of different species all living and interacting in the same area, you have what's called a community.
Quiz#4
What is the definition of a community in ecology?

populations of different species living together in the same area

Lesson#5
The final level of organisation for your course is the ecosystem. An ecosystem includes the community of living organisms, plus all the non-living, or abiotic, parts of their environment that they interact with, like water, soil, and temperature.
Quiz#6
What is the definition of an ecosystem?

a community of organisms interacting with its non-living environment
