(i) A community is larger than a population.

(iii) An ecosystem is part of a community.

Show answer Hide answer
Answer
Statement (iii) is wrong — a community is part of an ecosystem, not the other way round.

Explanation

  • A population is the smallest of the three.
  • A community is larger and made of many populations.
  • An ecosystem is the largest and contains the community.
  • So saying "an ecosystem is part of a community" is wrong.
Order by size: population < community < ecosystem.
