LATEST QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Consider two ecosystems that scientists have labelled as ecosystem A and
ecosystem B. The scientists have found that both ecosystems are home to a
roughly equal number of species. However, ecosystem A is dominated by a
small number of species that are very abundant. Ecosystem B, by contrast, has
a more even abundance of organisms across its species.
From this description, ecosystem B is considered _______ ecosystem A -
CORRECT ANSWER -more biodiverse than
Chan has an ambition to use biodiversity as a tool to prevent particular

species diversity. Which ecosystem can consider for his report? - CORRECT
ANSWER -a tropical rain forest
What is the correct definition of a species? - CORRECT ANSWER -a
population whose members are able to interbreed freely under natural
conditions
What are the two specific concerns of species diversity? - CORRECT
ANSWER -Species diversity is concerned with both species richness and
evenness of species abundance
