Final Answer:
1) A non-living thing in an ecosystem is soil.
2) The three life processes are: getting energy (eating or making food), growing and moving, and releasing waste.
3) Population means all the individuals of one species living in a community (e.g., all the tree frogs in a pond).
4) An organism lives where it can get what it needs—food, water, shelter, and suitable temperature—and where it can survive and reproduce.
5) A temperate zone supports many varieties of organisms because it has moderate temperatures, enough rain, and distinct seasons that allow different plants and animals to thrive at different times.
