Biodiversity Sustainability of an Ecosystem and Adaptations.

Anastayjia visited 3 different ecosystems to collect specimens. She visited a grassy area in a tundra and woody area in a Temperate deciduous forest. She collected 20 different types of species from the tundra and 98 different types of species from the forest. Which ecosystem is the MOST sustainable?

• Tundra

• Desert

• Temperate deciduous forest

• Rainforest

What is true about sustainability?

• Having a small number of species increases biodiversity

• Sustainability is how organisms change over time

• Sustainability is how much rainfall and sunlight an ecosystem receives

• The more different types of species you have (biodiversity) the better an ecosystem can sustain itself

A hurricane hit a tundra and a forest. A tundra is less biodiverse than the forest. Which biome would be impacted the most?

• The forest because it has more species and it wouldn't be able to sustain itself as well as the tundra

• They would be impacted the same

• The forest because it has more producers

• The tundra because it has less species and it wouldn't be able to sustain itself as well as the forest

When biodiversity increases

• Sustainability decreases

• Sustainability remains the same

• Sustainability also increases

• Sustainability becomes greater by 2

The greater a habitat’s biodiversity, the greater will be that habitat’s

• sustainability over time

• consumption of energy in the form of sunlight

• temperature ranges across the seasons

• distance to the nearest water source.
