Biology

Chapter Summary

This chapter examines ecology, which is the study of the interactions of living things with their environment. It focuses on four levels of biological organization — dealing with organisms, populations, communities, and ecosystems — as well as aquatic biomes and terrestrial biomes. It was adapted from OpenStax’s textbook entitled Biology 2e (2018) by Mary Ann Clark, Matthew Douglas, Jung Choi.
