How does biodiversity impact ecosystem stability?

• Variations in the ecosystem provides more habitats, which makes the ecosystem more resilient to change

• Variations within a species means that certain individuals will have superior genes that allow the species to survive

• Variations of species in an ecosystem increases chance of survival for all species in the ecosystem

• All of the above are true

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!
