FROM INDIVIDUAL TO COMMUNITY 

Organisims cannot live in isolation. Every organism depends on other living things for its survival.

To perform their vital functions, individual organisms live in close contact with other individuals from the same species. For example: anemone, clownfish, turtle, coral, jellyfish, alga.

A group of many living things of the same species living together in the same environment makes up a population. For example: a group of clownfish, a group of coral...

Different populations from all the kingdoms that live in one place form a community. For example: the community of living things on a reef.
