Biodiversity
There are between 1.5 and 2 million named species of living things on
5. Vast Number earth. Plants-300,000 Fungi-100,000 Bacteria and Protista-100,000
in species of Vertebrates-50,000 Insects-950,000
life
6. Species A population or group of populations of organisms that are very
similar to one another (share a recent evolutionary history)
7. Important The ability to interbreed
com-
ponents of
species
Binomial names (two names)
8. Lennean
system of
classification
9. Genus Species ex. Homo sapiens(humans)... homo is the genus name and sapiens is
the species
10. Species Richness The number of species occurring in a particular area

11. Species Diversity combination of number of species and relative number of individuals
of each
species
12. Species are NOT spread evenly throughout the world; ex. tropical areas
typically have more species than temperate ones

Diversity of species
through- out the
world
13. Ecosystems Combination of both biotic and abiotic factors
14. Ecosystem Something such as oxygen, fresh water, or food that is provided by an
Ser- vices ecosystem by its species
15. Genomics The new use of the comparative method
16. Genome entire set of genetic material in a cell
17. Allele particular version of a gene
18. Source of Genetic individuals having different alleles
variation
19. Human Is negative due to human interactions such as pollution, agriculture, etc.
Impact on
biodiversity
Going into the world's 6th mass extinction event. current extinction rates
20. World Event are between 10 and 100 times higher than those estimated from the
tak- ing place fossil record
due to
negative
human impact
on biodi-
versity -Is a way of looking at the world. Views people, animals, bacteria, cities, etc.
as being parts of a population of similar things
21. Populationa -Individuals are being influenced by many factors so it can be hard to say
l thinking the cause of something is
