What is biodiversity?
 The word biodiversity is composed of
two words of Bio that means life,
diversity that means
variety. Therefore, biodiversity or
biological diversity is the variety or
richness of living beings of an
ecosystem.
Importance of biodiversity
 Biodiversity meets functions vital
ecological for all system land. The
living beings that live in the soil, for
example, contribute to make possible
the growth of the plants, including the
crops, and decompose the organic
and several inorganic residues.

Classification of Species Genetic Ecosystem

biodiversity: diversity diversity diversity
 Species diversity

 It refers to the number of living species

that reside in a habitat determined,
the way they fight for their food, the
conduct with respect to coexistence,
the reciprocity that occurs between
them, the adaptability that arises in
different tests of life and
reproduction as method to
perpetrate existence. There is a
classification of Kingdoms , where the
five species of the planet are grouped:
the animals, the plants, the protists, the
mushrooms and the bacteria .
 Genetic diversity
 It warns the differentiation of genes in
animals, plants and microorganisms. It
refers to the hereditary peculiarities that the
interior of each genre possesses, within each
population as well in different organisms. A
clear example of this could be if we
punctuated in the color of the eyes of the
human being, where a clear difference is
observed in relation to the variations of
colors that they can exist, from a celestial that
is so clear that it seems transparent, to a black
that is as dark as night. If we experimented
with the idea that, for example, people with
brown eyes would stop reproducing, surely,
after a long time, many of the variations of
colors would change.
 Ecosystem diversity

 In reference to the multiplicity of

forms of organisms existing in
different territories of the planet. The
aim is to study the complexity that
manifests itself among populations of
other species and their habitat.

habitats that share certain
characteristics. They are usually
identified as areas that are temporarily
