MAIN IDEA
-biodiversity maintains a healthy biosphere
BIODIVERSITY
DESCRIPTION
IMPORTANCE
COMPARE
three types of biodiversity
GENETIC diversity
SPECIES diversity
-variety of genes / -# different
inheritable char
species
in a population
-abundance of
each
-increase chances of
-food / resources
species survival:
-interconnections
of species
1-changing
environmental
conditions
2-disease outbreak
VIDEO CLIP- biodivsersity examples
ECOSYSTEM diversity
-variety of
ecosystems in
biosphere
-diff abiotic
factors support
diverse collection
of organisms
COMPARE/CONTRAST species biodiversity
three types of biodiversity
RAIN FOREST
PLANTS
ANIMALS
CORN FIELD
-most diverse -not diverse
-1,000s species -corn, grass,weeds
-most diverse
-1,000s species
Insects alone
-diverse
-birds, insects
VEGETABLE GARDEN
OCEAN
-crop plants
-several species
-insects, varments
-
-diverse
-many water
species
-very diverse
-1,000s species
DESCRIBE
observable differences using FOREST ECOSYSTEM
type of
biodiversity
GENETIC
SPECIES
ECOSYSTEM
EXAMPLE
-differences in coat color of rabbits
-# of tree species in forest
-forest ecosystem one of many types in
biosphere
IDENTIFY
resources/services of healthy biosphere
RESOURCES
SERVICES
1- safe, clean water / air
1- protection from floods/droughts
2- food / clothing / medicine
2- decomposition of wastes
3- fertile soil
3- scientific advances / genetics
As well as aesthetic values
ORGANIZE/DESCRIBE
how humans dependent on plants / animals
products of ANIMALS
products of PLANTS
1- food
1- food
2- clothing (wool, leather)
2- clothing (cotton, bamboo)
3- shelter
3- oxygen
SUMMARIZE
how the health of the biosphere impacts the health of people
1- healthy biosphere has high level of biodiversity
2- provides clean AIR / WATER
3- protect from extreme weather, flood, droughts
4- lead to possibility of new medicine to treat disease
5- many possible resources for medicine, genetic testing, etc
SUMMARIZE
how the health of the biosphere impacts the health of people
5 Things You Can Do To Help Promote Biodiversity - YouTube
-species
-variety of genes in
population
-ecosystem
-variety of ecosystems
in biosphere
SUMMARIZE
how the health of the biosphere impacts the health of people
COMPLETE the passage below using terms provided.
Maintaining ______________
biodiversity is important for many reasons. Humans
need to preserve the specific _____________
they use directly. Species
species
that are used indirectly are valuable because they are a source of
genes that might be needed in the future, which is important for
__________
food crops
_____________________.
In addition, organisms that are not yet
medicines The indirect benefits of a
identified might provide _____________.
healthy biosphere include cycling of ____________
nutrients and provision of safe
drinking water
