|
A variety of plant and animal species allows for more survivors of a natural disaster.
|
|
|
Having more species in an ecosystem allows the human population to increase in size.
|
|
|
Low biodiversity reduces the competition for resources, which helps native species survive.
|
|
|
Fewer species in the ecosystem reduces the likelihood that disease spreads through the ecosystem

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer. Answer: Biodiversity prevents habitats from being destroyed by people. Maintaining diversity allows species to use up the resources in an ecosystem.
Detailed explanation-2: -Which statement best describes how biodiversity supports the sustainability of an ecosystem? D. Maintaining diversity ensures that species can continue to depend on one another.
Detailed explanation-3: -Greater biodiversity in ecosystems, species, and individuals leads to greater stability. For example, species with high genetic diversity and many populations that are adapted to a wide variety of conditions are more likely to be able to weather disturbances, disease, and climate change.
Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: Biodiversity is the main factor that contributes to the sustainability of an ecosystem.
Detailed explanation-5: -How does biodiversity contribute to the sustainability of an ecosystem? More species with different adaptations makes it more likely that some will survive ecological disasters. Greater genetic variation within species makes it more likely that some will survive a disease outbreak.
