Species that are clearly critical to the functioning of an ecosystem are known as

• biodiversity

• keystone species

• main species

• native species

A species that is likely to become extinct if protective measures are not taken immediately is known as

• threatened species

• endemic species

• keystone species

• endangered species

An endemic species is

• exotic and found everywhere

• exotic and found only in certain regions

• native and found only in a limited area

• native and found everywhere

A community is

• Several different populations scattered across several states.

• Several different organisms in the same geographic area

• One type of organism in the same geographic area

Image "B" shows more biodiversity than image "A". Why?

• Because "B" shows more different species than image "A"

• Because image "B" has less different species than "A"

• "A" has a greater number of same species plants so this statement is wrong.

• Both images show the same biodiversity
