read the passage. then answer the question below. tide pools on the oregon coast can experience large waves and strong currents. many tide pool organisms attach securely to the surrounding rocks to avoid being swept away. ochre sea stars make a sticky substance to help them hold onto the rocks. pacific blue mussels glue themselves to the rocks using structures called byssal threads. a black leather chiton sticks to a rock by creating suction with its strong muscular foot. black oystercatcher birds eat mussels and chitons. these birds are strong enough to pry animals off of the rocks. in a tide pool on the oregon coast, the pacific blue mussels, the black leather chitons, and the black oystercatchers 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 multiple species, so not a population. A community is all the different species of organisms in an area, and these are different species in the tide - pool area. An ecosystem includes all the living organisms (like these species) and their non - living environment in an area.
Answer:
B. part of a community C. part of an ecosystem
