Henry went on a field trip to a national park. He not only observed the aquatic life in the pond, but also the trees, vegetation
, and animal’s species on land. Which type of diversity did Henry come across in the national park? Henry came across the (fill in the blank) diversity. * the answer ecological was incorrect.
Biodiversity is the great variety of life forms (animals and plants) that are found in the most different environments (an example of this, can be seen in the question above, where Henry saw a diversity of life in the national park). The word biodiversity is formed from the union of the Greek radical "bio" (which means life) plus the word "diversity" (which means variety).
Biodiversity is formed by living species comprising plants, animals and micro-organisms, which populate from the depths of the oceans to the highest mountains. It is composed of a huge diversity of species understood as similar individuals, with the ability to reproduce among themselves and naturally.
