[Completed] [Q] Should Minimum Android SDK be installed to support the Minimum Android Version??

Okay, if I'm creating an app which targets for Android 5.1 and has to support a minimum Android Version of 2.3,
do I need to install the 2.3 SDK version from Android SDK Manager so that it supports Gingerbread??
Or is 5.1 SDK enough to support it by backward compatibility??
Thanks
