The Definitions of an ecosystem is:

• The study of interrelationships between plants and animals and their environment

• The interactions between communities of organisms and their environment

• The part of the earth where life is found

• All the members of one species

Calculate the Simpson's biodiversity index of the following community of organisms (rounded to two decimal places):

Species A: 15

Species B: 12

Species C: 2

Species D: 1

Species E: 3

the variety of species in an ecosystem is called

• biogeography

• biodiversity

• resilience

• resistance
