Habitat – Place where an organism lives depending on the organism, ex.
Blackworm lives in shallow water
Ecosystem – a community of organisms interacting with their biotic and abiotic
environment (living and nonliving things interacting together)
All Kingdoms of Life – Animalia, Plant, Fungi, Protists, Bacteria
