Question 30 • Summer 2024 ATA MI-Environmental Science CR Sem 1

Which is the best way to describe the biodiversity of an area?

Answer
A
A grassland has organisms that live on hundreds of acres of land.
B
A desert has 10 species of animals that can survive dry conditions.
C
A rainforest has fertile soil that supports many kinds of plants.
D
A pond has 12 species of organisms, including 300 animals and 40 plants.

Explanation

Biodiversity describes the variety of living organisms in an area, especially the number of different species. Choice D gives both the number of species and the numbers of animals and plants, so it describes the area's living variety most fully. Choice B mentions 10 animal species but gives less information about the area's overall biodiversity.
