Types of Biodiversity Quiz

Mia, Duane, and Christian are on a field trip to a national park. They come across a sign that mentions 'ecosystem diversity'. Can you help them understand what it means?

• Is it the size of individual organisms in the park?

• Could it be the balance between different species in the park?

• Is it the number of species present in this national park?

• Or, is it the variety of ecosystems present in this national park or on Earth?

Hey Amarie, Kesean, and Heylin! Imagine you guys are on a field trip to a rainforest. Can you tell me what species diversity you would observe there?

• Would it be the total number of species on Earth?

• Or, would it be the variety of different species within that rainforest?

• Could it be the genetic variation within a particular species in the rainforest?

• Or, would it be the number of individuals within a particular species in that rainforest?

Imagine David, Emily, and Noah are biology students working on a project about biodiversity. They come across the term 'genetic diversity'. Can you help them understand what it means?

• Is it the process of creating new genetic information within a population or species?

• Does it refer to the physical characteristics of individuals within a population or species?

• Is it the number of individuals within a population or species?

• Or, is it the variety of genetic information within a population or species?

Christian, Amarie, Kalil, Heylin, and Rihana are on a field trip to a national park. Their guide presents them with a question to enhance their understanding of the environment: 'What type of biodiversity refers to the variety of ecosystems within a region or on the entire planet?'

• Species diversity

• Genetic diversity

• Climate diversity

• Ecosystem diversity

Dontez, Noe, and Katherine are on a field trip to a national park with their biology teacher, Kalil. They are tasked with identifying the different types of biodiversity. They come across a term that refers to the variety of species within this national park. Can you help them identify what this type of biodiversity is called?

• Ecosystem biodiversity

• Species biodiversity

• Genetic biodiversity

• Population biodiversity

Christian, Joise, Kalil, Jairo, and Emily are working on a school project about biodiversity. They are discussing the different types of biodiversity. When they mention the variety of genes within a species, which type of biodiversity are they referring to?

• Species biodiversity

• Genetic biodiversity

• Habitat biodiversity

• Ecological biodiversity

Imagine Rolando, Christian, and Angelica are working on a project to protect their local park. Why would they need to understand ecosystem diversity?

• So they can prioritize the survival of certain species over others.

• So they can disrupt the natural order of ecosystems and cause the extinction of species.

• So they can limit the variety of species and create a more controlled environment.

• So they can maintain the balance of ecosystems and support the survival of various species.

Amarie, David, and Casi are discussing in a biology class. Amarie says, 'Biodiversity in a rainforest is not significant.' David disagrees, saying, 'None of the above.' Casi, however, thinks, 'Only some of the above.' Who do you think is correct?

• Amarie: Biodiversity in a rainforest is not significant

• David: None of the above

• Casi: Only some of the above

• All of the above

Christian, Casi, and Mia are biology students studying the importance of genetic diversity in their class. They came across a question: Why is genetic diversity important?

• Is it only important for aesthetic reasons, not for the health of species or ecosystems, as Christian suggested?

• Or does it only affect individual organisms, not entire species or ecosystems, as Casi thought?

• Or is it important for adaptation, survival, and the overall health of species and ecosystems, as Mia believed?

• Or does genetic diversity have no impact on adaptation or survival, as they read in their textbook?

Jairo, Yosselin, and Brianna are on a school field trip to a national park. They come across a signboard that reads, 'Caution! The most endangered type of biodiversity due to habitat destruction and fragmentation lies ahead.' Which type of biodiversity do you think the signboard is referring to?

• Ecosystem diversity

• Species diversity

• Genetic diversity

• Temporal diversity
