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.

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!

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

• High (rich) biodiversity

• Low (poor) biodiversity

Answer explanation

A biome with high (rich) biodiversity is more likely to survive a change in the environment. This is because a diverse ecosystem has a greater variety of species, which increases its resilience and ability to adapt to changes. In contrast, a biome with low (poor) biodiversity has fewer species and is more vulnerable to disturbances. Therefore, the correct choice is 'High (rich) biodiversity'.
