Answer:

The lungs are pair of spongy, air -filled organs located on either side of the chest (thorax). The trachea (windpipe)conducts inhaled air into the lungs through its tubular branches, called bronchi. The bronchi then divide, into smaller and smaller branches (bronchioles) ,finally becoming microscopic.

In your lungs, the main airways (bronchi) branch off into smaller and smaller passageways-the smallest, called bronchioles, lead to tiny air sacs(alveoli)

Which of the following correctly sorts the organizational levels of a ecosystem form least inclusive to most inclusive

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

population - community - ecosystem - biosphere

Explanation:

The correctly sorted level of organization of an ecosystem from the least inclusive to the most inclusive would be from population to community to ecosystem and finally to biosphere.

A population consists of a group of organism of the same species living in a particular area at a particular time and capable of interbreeding to produce fertile progeny.

A community represents different population of organisms that are interacting with one another. Several populations make up a community.

An ecosystem consists of different communities of organisms that are interacting with themselves and the non living component of the environment.

A biosphere consists of all regions of the earth where living organisms can be found. It consists of different ecosystems that make up the earth.

Hence, the population is least inclusive, followed by the community, then the ecosystem and finally the biosphere.
