BIODIVERSITY

• Directions:
• Share your thoughts and ideas about the
video in your group.
• What is the video all about ?
• What did you understand about biodiversity?
• Why is biodiversity important?
• Biodiversity
• Is coined from the words, “biological diversity.”
• The variety of life in the world or in a particular habitat or ecosystem.
• It refers to all variety of life that can be found on earth
(plants, animals, fungi and micro organisms) as well as to the communities
that they form and the habitats in which they live.
The different varieties and types of animals and plants that live in the ocean is an
example of biodiversity.
 THREE LEVELS OF
BIODIVERSITY
• 1) Species Diversity
• Different kinds of organisms

• Species – largest group of organisms capable of interbreeding and producing

fertile offspring.
• Diversity- a state of being diverse or variety.
• - a range of different things.
• Number of variety of species in a particular region.
• Number of different species that are represented in a given community (species
richness) and the evenness of species abundance.
• 2) Genetic Diversity
• Genetic information that organisms contain.
• Allows the population of a species to adopt to
environmental changes.
• 3) Ecosystem Diversity
• Different kinds of places where organisms live and the interconnections
that bind these organisms together.
• Ex. Prairies, Ponds, and tropical rain forest are all ecosystems.
• Each one is different , with its own set of species living in it
• Species diversity consists of the large number and all different kinds,
shapes, colors and sizes of organisms that inhabit the earth.
• It includes the smallest and the simplest bacterium (pl. bacteria)
• To the complex, bigger, brightly colored flower or fish.
• Add to this the carabao, the tallest acacia, the biggest elephant and
human.
 WHERE CAN IT BE FOUND?
• From soil, to the rivers , oceans , forest salty and hot places
• In every corner of the earth.
• Some lives in the body.
• More than a million organisms have been identified and named
while many more are being discovered every year.

• For any organisms identified , a scientific name is given.
• Naming organisms is referred to as the binomial system of
classification.
• Scientific names are in the Latin language and are itilized.
• With further researches and discoveries the system of classification
may change as more information are gathered about organisms
gathered all over the earth.
• Early studies of organisms resulted to only the two-kingdom
classification.
• Later, with the inventions of microscope and with more evidences
gathered about different forms of life, various scientist proposed three,
to four, then
five and later to six or even eight-kingdom classification.

Here the six kingdom classification will be used namely:

Archaebacteria, Eubacteria, Protist, Fungi. Plant and Animal Kingdoms.
