11. Community.
12. Ecosystem.
13. Lowest.

18. Wastes,dead organisms.

20. Carnivores,omnivores,herbivores.
2-state (T) OR (F):

3. (F) Heavy rains.

3- WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF:
1. Misbalance will occur in the ecosystem as all organisms depand on water for drinking so the number of population will drop.
2. The population will get smaller.
3. The number of herbivores that depend on these plants will get smaller & then the number of the organisms that depand on these herbivores will drop and the whole energy pyramid will fall.
4-DEFINE:
1. Is a large ecosystem with the same climate and the same organisms.
2. Is made up of all population in one area.
