Which of the following is NOT a type of  biodiversity?

• species

• genetic

• ecosystem

• individual

Why is "A" less biodiverse than "B"?

• Image "A" is more biodiverse.

• Image "A" has many corn plants and this makes it have high "rich" biodiversity.

• Image "A" has a lot more plants than image "B"

• Even though "A" has a lot of corn plants they are all the same species and makes this a low "poor" biodiverse area.

Why should humans work to prevent biodiversity loss?

• Humans depend on other organisms to meet their basic needs for survival

• Species extinction has been a rare occurrence throughout human history

• Extinctions are common and expected therefore biodiversity loss is not a concern

• Both humans depend on other organisms to meet their basic needs for survival and Species extinction has been a rare occurrence throughout human history
