 | Central Question: Why is it important to preserve our planet species? Not matter big or small Guiding Thought Question: In your own words explain what biodiversity is, why it is important, and provide an example to support your point. Today's Learning Objective: Students will learn about the ideas of biodiversity and their areas of concern my completing a map lab regarding the topic, then examining specific issues related to biodiversity. |

Each individual organism plays an ecological role in the environment. Maintaining every species, biodiversity of the species and their genetics, is a key principle of sustainability.

Biodiversity is the differentiation between the animal diversity in an area. A great example of biodiversity is the Savannah of Africa, where the different animals in the different areas can look and act completely different.

if a species were to go extinct it would cause a chain reaction affecting other major species.

Biodiversity is the variety of life in the world or in a particular habitat or ecosystem. It's important because it boosts ecosystem productivity where each species, no matter how small, all have an important role to play. For example, a larger number of plant species means a greater variety of crops.

biodiversity is a mixture of animals and plant life in an ecosystem. its important because if there was only a few animals, there would be no balance.

Biodiversity is the diversity of different animal and plant species. This is important so the circle of life can continue for all species so predator and prey relationships can be balanced throughout all species. An example of this can be the ocean where their are thousands of species that all play a part in keeping the ocean a balanced environment.

Biodiversity is the variety of animals and plants in an ecosystem. It’s important because the broader the variety of animals, the more stable the ecosystem would be, an example is the amazon rainforest which has a very wide variety of animal and plant diversity

Biodiversity is the different species of animal in a certain area.

Biodiversity is the diversity in animal and plant life, and it is important because it usually is balanced and keeps the world in check. For example animals breath out CO2 and the plants take it in, and reverse. Predators and prey animals are found together and keep each others pop. in check.

Biodiversity is how diverse in plants and animals a certain ecosystem is. If an ecosystem has low biodiversity there will be too much competition for resources and none of the species will thrive, lowering biodiversity even more and harming how the environment functions. For example, if all species of fish die off except for one, the complex relationships will fall apart with other types of animals and the ecosystem will fail.

biodiversity is the diversity in the animals, and plants in the ecosystem

Its important to make sure every species survives and lasts long on this earth because every species that dies (plant and animal) causes a chain reaction on every other species around it

Biodiversity is the variety of plants and animals in an ecosystem or habitat. It is important because it boosts ecosystem productivity. an example is large number of plants, a large number of plants species with bring in a large variety of crops.

The mixture, balance, and number of different species in an area is biodiversity. It is important because without balance one species will take over and others will die off. For example, if you take elephants out of the savanna, trees will start to take over the grasslands and that would change the entire environment.

biodiversity is the diversity of life in an area. The rain forest is a good example of biodiversity. more species means more animals have a niche

Biodiversity is the diversity of different animal and plant species. This is important so that the circle of life can continue and the balance between predator and prey can remain the same. An example would be the rain forest where their are thousands of different plants and animals co inhabiting a single environment. Leave a Reply. |
