• a. species diversity

• b. genetic diversity

• c. ecosystem diversity

If a paleontologist finds fossils of many different species existing in the same area at approximately the same time, the paleontologist can conclude that the ecosystem in this area had a high degree of

• climatic variation

• episodic speciation

• biological diversity

• geographic isolation

Which of the following describes the importance of biodiversity to an ecosystem?

• a. People like to be able to see all the different plants and animals
• b. If there aren�t all the different species, there will be resources that aren�t being used
• c. Biodiversity is not as important as many people think
• d. Biodiversity can help minimize the effects of losing a species.

 Which biome is more likely to survive a change in the environment?

• High (rich) biodiversity
• Low (poor) biodiversity

How do biodiversity and stability work together?

• The lower the biodiversity the greater the stability of an ecosystem.

• The higher the biodiversity, the less stable the ecosystem

• The higher the biodiversity, the greater the stability of the ecosystem.

• Biodiversity has nothing to do with ecosystem stability.

Which shows more biodiversity Image A or Image B. Why?

• Image B is more biodiverse, because shows more different species than image A.

• Image A is more biodiverse, because shows a greater number of organisms that image B

• Both images show the same biodiversity
