Answer:
- Two predictors to measure biodiversity: Species Richness and Simpson's Index
- Biodiversity increases ecosystem stability
- It has been shown that natural ecosystems are more stable than monocultures, while isolated human populations are found in highly diverse ecosystems
Explanation:
Two major predictors to measure biodiversity are: 1-species richness and the 2-Simpson's index. The species richness is a count for the total number of the species in a given habitat and/or ecosystem; while Simpson's index is a similarity index that indicates the likelihood that two different individuals selected at random from a sample will belong to the same species, thereby also estimating the biodiversity of a habit and/or ecosystem. Simpson's index takes into consideration the number of species and the abundance of each species. Ecosystems with high diversity tend to be more stable and resilient than ecosystems with low diversity. Biodiversity increases ecosystem stability due to the species asynchrony, which is a strong driver capable of stabilizing multiple processes/functions in the ecosystems over time (e.g., the productivity of the ecosystems over time). In this regard, it has been shown that forests that are highly diverse in the number of species are more productive and stable under stress than monocultures (i.e., agricultural crops), while isolated human populations live in sustainable ecosystems, it is for that reasons that isolated tribes are only found in highly diverse ecosystems.

<span>As there are no pictures of charts presented to choose from, I will make an educated guess for my answer. For Ron's records to best be recorded, I suggest a stacked line graph to depict the bracket of time each event would've occurred and continuing on with the information leading up to the most recent. It would allow him to visualize the increase or decrease in certain functions and or events that would have taken place during those time periods.</span>

Answer:
option d, b, c
Explanation:
Starch molecules taken into the mouth from food substances are processed to an extent of 30% of its digestion. this is carried out by a specialized protein/ an enzyme that is present in the saliva; called amylase or ptyalin. this enzyme acts on the substrate molecule which in this case is starch molecules and convert it into smaller chains of simple sugars that includes maltose and dextrin which is digested in the small intestine.
