Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An ecological community consists of all the interacting populations of different species within a defined area. In the case of McDonaldland, the entire menu would be the best definition of the ecological community because it includes all the different types of food and drinks served there, which are consumed by various animals, such as humans, birds, and rodents. The other choices, such as sandwiches and condiments, are too specific and do not encompass the entire community. The fast-food restaurants in the United States are not part of McDonaldland's ecological community as they are separate entities with their own distinct communities. The breakfast menu is also too specific and does not encompass the entire community.
