BIODIVERSITY AND ITS USES AND APPLICATION

It describe the variety of life forms in an ecosystem

• Biodiversity

• Stability

• Adaptations

• Survival

What does biodiversity mean?

• Only one species in an area.
• The different amount of species in an area
• All abiotic life
• Nitrogen fixation

This type of diversity refers to a variety of expressed traits or genes within the species.

• Species Diversity

• Ecosystem Diversity

• Genetic Diversity

This is all the different habitats, biological communities, and ecological processes, as well as variation within individual ecosystems.

• a. genetic diversity

• b. species diversity

• c. ecological diversity

• d. diversity

Why is biodiversity so important?

• Because all species depend on each other to survive, so if one becomes extinct another species that relies on it could go extinct as well
• Because it’s better to have only one variation of each species.
• Because it better to only have a few species on Earth.
• Honestly, I have no idea what biodiversity is!

What are the 3 types of Biodiversity 

• sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous

• genetic diversity, ecological diversity, species diversity

•  ionic, covalent and metallic

• mRNA, tRNA, rRNA

What type of Application:

Trees and other vegetation absorb pollutants such as excessive nitrogen dioxide, ozone, and particulate matter, through their leaves and needles and thereby help to improve air and water quality.

• Air and Water Treatment

• Food

• Source of Energy

• Health and Medicine

What type of Application:

Biological diversity of microorganisms, flora and fauna provides extensive benefits for biological, health, and pharmacological sciences.

• Air and Water Treatment

• Food

• Source of Energy

• Health and Medicine

In this protocol the access to genetic resources and the sharing of its benefits is organised.

• The Nagoya Protocol

• The Cartagena Protocol

This protocol aims to ensure the safe handling, transport and use of living genetically modified organisms.
