read the passage. then answer the question below. rose gardens are a good habitat for insects. aphids are tiny insects that eat roses and produce a sticky substance called honeydew. honeydew is a favorite food of ants, so ants often live with aphids. the ants protect the aphids against predators such as ladybugs. another way that ants help aphids is by removing dead aphids. this way, an aphid that died from a fungus infection will not infect the rest of the aphids. in a rose garden, the aphids, the ants, and the ladybugs 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. Aphids, ants, and ladybugs are different species, so they don't form a single population. A community is all the different populations of organisms living in an area, so they are part of a community. An ecosystem includes all the living organisms (biotic factors) and non - living components (abiotic factors) in an area. They are part of the biotic part of the rose garden ecosystem.
Answer:
B. part of a community C. part of an ecosystem
