• An individual form of life that is capable of growing and reproducing, and have one or more cells. Animals, plants and bacterium are all apart of this term.

• The number of organisms of the same species that live in a particular geographic area at the same time, with the capability of interbreeding.

• A geographic area where plants, animals, and other organisms, as well as weather and landscape, work together to form a bubble of life. They contain biotic or living, parts, as well as abiotic factors, or non-living parts.
