Concept explainers
To determine:
Three different levels of biodiversity.
Introduction:
Biodiversity is where the living organism like plants, animals, humans, and microorganism live together and play an important role in balancing the ecosystem and maintaining the food chain or food web.
Biodiversity is of three types: genetic, species, and ecosystem.
Genetics make all the variations in the living organism and give them unique characteristics.
Plants, animals, microorganism, and humans are the species which live in an ecosystem.
The ecosystem is the place where the entire living organisms live together and play important roles.
To determine:
Importance of three different levels of biodiversity.
Introduction:
Genetics, species, and ecosystem are the types of biodiversity. They are connected to each other like species live in the ecosystem with a variation which comes from genetic. They have different roles in the ecosystem.
