Species Diversity

Two populations of chimpanzees live in two different areas of a jungle region. The jungle area that Population B is located within has higher biodiversity than the jungle area that Population A is located. Referring to the graph below, what can you infer?

• None of the above

• Chimpanzee in Population B live in a jungle area that have lower biodiversity and have a higher survival rate.

• Chimpanzee survival is not dependent on tree diversity in any part of the jungle.

• Chimpanzees in Population A have a lower survival rate because the biodiversity is less.

Tropical rainforests have the greatest biodiversity of any type of land ecosystem. How does biodiversity contribute to the sustainability of an ecosystem?

• The presence of more species with different adaptations makes it more likely that some organisms will survive an ecological disaster

• Greater genetic variation within species makes it more likely that some individuals will survive a disease outbreak

• The presence of a variety of herbivore species that can feed on a large number of different producer species helps ensure abundant prey for predators in the ecosystems

• All of the above

There are many advantages to high biodiversity. Which advantage do organisms depend on most to increase the chance of survival of their species?

• High biodiversity allows natural selection to occur

• High biodiversity increases the chances in survival of a species

• High biodiversity allows only a few species to survive

• High biodiversity maintains nutrient cycles and air and water quality

• Species 1 because it has fewer genes

• Species 2 because it has more genes

• Species 1 because it has less genetic diversity
