Answer 2

1. community = a group of populations
2. biome = grasslands or tundra
3. habitat = the place an organism lives
4. population = a group of the same species in the same area

When a couple of populations (same group of species living together) are found in the same place, they create a community - just like people do. Biomes are large communities of plants and animals in the same place, and the habitat is the place where those species live.
