APES 2.1, 2.3, and 2.4 Biodiversity, Biogeography, and Tolerance

the variety of species in an ecosystem is called

• biogeography

• biodiversity

• resilience

• resistance

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS2-5

the number of different types of species in an ecosystem

• richness

• evenness

• hot spot

• biodiversity

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS2-5

the abundance of each species in an area is called

• richness

• evenness

• biodiversity

• random distribution

an ecological hotspot is

• an area where temperatures reach at least 120 degrees F

• an area of very high biodiversity

• an area where almost no species can be found

• a species that is only found in one part of the world

NGSS.MS-LS2-4

a species that exist in one area and nowhere else in the world is called

• hot spot species

• epistatic species

• endemic species

• predation species

two types of ecological disturbance are

• animals and plants

• abiotic and biotic

• natural and human-caused

• weather and climate

Tags

NGSS.MS-ESS3-4

the stability of an ecosystem depends on 2 factors

• natural and human-caused disturbances

• weather and climate

• ecosystem resilience and resistance

• independent and dependent variables

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS2-5

the ability of an ecosystem to recover after a disturbance

• resistance

• resilience

• relocation

• rejuvination

Tags

NGSS.HS-LS2-6

the ability of an ecosystem to remain stable throughout a disturbance is

• resistance

• resilience

• relocation

• rejuvenation

biodiversity is measured by

• random quadrat sampling

• height of vegetation

• richness and evenness

• health of keystone species
