read the passage. then answer the question below. the rocks and sand in the monument valley desert are rust colored, because they are rich in iron. the desert is located in the navajo nation, on the border between arizona and utah. this hot, dry desert is home to three species of jackrabbits: the antelope jackrabbit, the white - tailed jackrabbit, and the black - tailed jackrabbit. all three of these jackrabbit species eat grasses, and the antelope and black - tailed jackrabbits sometimes eat cacti. jackrabbits are hunted by mountain lions and red - tailed hawks. in the monument valley desert, the antelope jackrabbits, the white - tailed jackrabbits, and the black - tailed jackrabbits make up which of the following? select all that apply. a population part of a community part of an ecosystem
Answer
Brief Explanations:
A population is a group of the same - species organisms. Here we have three species of jackrabbits, so they are not a population. A community is all the different populations of organisms in an area, and these jackrabbit species are part of the community in the Monument Valley desert. An ecosystem includes all the living organisms (like these jackrabbits) and their non - living environment (rocks, sand, etc.) in an area, so they are part of the ecosystem.
Answer:
B. part of a community C. part of an ecosystem
