I need to write a song about ecology and ecosystem in the tune of Bruno Mars’ Count on Me.
It should also consist terms like Manmade and Natural resources, Biotic and Abiotic, Community, Population, Habitat, Ecological niche, Food Chain, Food Web, Interrelationships and Energy Pyramid.
Anyone who could give me any lyrical ideas or construct a sample lyrics would be rewarded 5 stars.
Thank You again :”>

For a science poster I have to arrange some terms from “biggest” to “smallest” based on how where the terms fit in a biosphere. My teacher assigned this project before we have actually started the unit, so we haven’t learned this yet and I don’t know if I have them in the right order. These are the words in the order I put them in:
Biosphere
Biome
Ecosystem
Community
Population
Habitat
Niche
Organism
Is this how you would have ordered them? I know for sure that the first and last terms are right, but I’m not sure about the rest.

Question 8
For natural selection to occur, organisms must ____.
all of the listed choices
produce more offspring than can survive
be able to pass on adaptive traits to their offspring
have a variety of traits that affect their success in surviving and reproducing
Question 9
Change in organisms’ characteristics over time is termed biological _____.
homeostasis
evolution
sedimentation

Question 10
A group of individuals that possess similar characteristics and can interbreed and produce fertile offspring is called a _____.

genome
community
population
Question 11
When we examine the differences in amino acids found in human hemoglobin and the hemoglobin of other vertebrate species, we find ____.
no differences at all; all hemoglobin is identical
the fewest differences in species such as apes and monkeys, more differences in non-mammalian groups like birds, and the most differences in the simplest forms like lampreys
a random distribution; every species seems different but there is no discernible pattern
Question 12
Religion-based alternative ideas for the origin of species cannot be taught in science classes because ____.
scientists are close-minded atheistic fanatics who want to destroy the moral values of our nation
religion-based explanations are not testable, because spiritual experiences are subjective rather than objective
Question 13

no evidence of population traits changing over time
the average beak depth in chicks changed from one year to the next in response to environmental changes

ecological role
genomic makeup
tendency to undergo mutation
habitat type

several months
twenty years
five years
one year
Question 16
The ancestor of the modern whale seems to have been a four-limbed hooved animal, somewhat piglike (see p. 251).

In this case, the whale’s pelvis is considered a ____.
result of sexual selection
