Having more diversity allows organisms and environments to...

Evolve and Adapt at a slower rate

What actions increase biodiversity?

Conserving water and natural resources

What actions decrease biodiversity?

Monocrop Farming / Mining / Overfishing / Over hunting

What happens when species become extinct?

the whole species does not exist

the adults are dead but some eggs still have not hatched

the species do not exist in some parts of the world

Mandates the restoration and maintenance of the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the nation's waters

Resource Conservation Recovery Act

One country declaring war on another.

One farmer that over plants his crops one spring, and has a poor harvest in the fall.

A small marine area has phytoplankton as its only producer. Should the marine biologist be concerned about this ecosystem?

Yes, this ecosystem has low biodiversity. Without a producer the herbivores will die out leaving no food.

No the fish do not need the phytoplanton. Since there are so many fish, there is high biodiversity.

Yes, this system has high biodiversity; however the fish can adapt and get food from another source.

Yes, the fish will overate to get all of the phytoplankton that is left, then they will die.

How do biodiversity and sustainability work together?

The higher the biodiversity, the greater the sustainability.

The lower the biodiversity the greater the sustainability.

The higher the biodiversity, the less sustainable the ecosystem

Biodiversity has nothing to do with sustainability.

having a lot of variety of different organisms.

having a lot of the same organism.

having a few of the same organism.

only having one of each organism.

This picture is a great example of ____________ biodiversity.

hhhmmmm there is no way to know without counting.

This organism has a special adaptation that allows it to absorb oxygen. Where would you see this organism?

Marine, Salt water or fresh waster where the oxygen must be absorbed from the water.

Desert, where there is little water and hot temperatures.

Tundra, where the animal lives at high altitudes and there is less breathable oxygen.

All organisms have this adaptation.

Two populations of chimpanzees live in two different areas of a jungle region. The jungle area that Population B is located within has higher biodiversity than the jungle area that Population A is located. Referring to the graph below, what can you infer?

Chimpanzees in Population A have a lower survival rate because the biodiversity is less.

Chimpanzee in Population B live in a jungle area that have lower biodiversity and have a higher survival rate.

Chimpanzee survival is not dependent on tree diversity in any part of the jungle.
