Biodiversity

• Biodiversity is the variety of life on Earth, including the variety of species, ecosystems, and genetic diversity within species
• Habitat destruction can result in the loss of species, which can lead to extinction.
• A species that is at risk of becoming extinct is called an endangered species.
• keystone species play a crucial role in maintaining the structure and function of an ecosystem.
• There are three levels of biodiversity: species diversity, genetic diversity and ecosystem diversity.
• Species diversity refers to the number of different species found in a particular area or habitat.
• Genetic diversity refers to the variation in genes within a population of a single species.
• Ecosystem diversity refers to the variety of different types of ecosystems found in a region or biome.
• Invasive species disrupt the local ecosystem
• Species is a group of organism that possess unique traits
• genetic diversity is the result of base pairs in DNA
• Each ecosystem has its own unique characteristics that allow certain organisms to survive.
• The domino effect is when one event causes a chain reaction of events that eventually leads to bigger problems
• adaption is an organism's ability to respond to environmental changes.
• Structural adaptation pertains to the changes in an organism's morphology and anatomy.
• Morphology is the study of form or structure of an organism.
• Behavioral adaptation involves how an animal responds to stimuli from their environment through movement, vocalization, and other behaviors.
• Physiological adaptation refers to the internal processes within an animal’s body, such as metabolism, respiration, digestion, etc.
