Jacob went to three different locations and collected observations about the habitat and living things that were there. His data is below.
What can you conclude about animal diversity in the parking lot compared to the grassy field?
Jacob was collecting information about the animals in each habitat that he visited. When making a comparison or seeing how two things are similar, it can be seen that the only animal present in the parking lot is humans. In the grassy field, there are many animals and no signs of humans or buildings.

Which conclusion is supported by the data table above?
Which conclusion is supported by the data table above?
When reviewing the data table, scientists and readers can draw a conclusion or make a statement about what the information has revealed. Human-made or human-filled places like the parking lot have fewer animals present than the other locations. When looking at the list of animals from the more natural sites, there are far more species present. This allows us to conclude that there is greater animal diversity in those areas.

Which habitat shows the most diversity in animal species?
The photo of the ocean habitat shows the most diversity. The other images show one animal species where the ocean shows many different types of fish and coral. There are more animals in the desert, Antarctica, and grasslands than what is shown, but from what we can see, the oceans are most diverse.

Every habitat has the same number and types of animals.
Every habitat has the same number and types of animals.
The statement is untrue. Each habitat is very different and has animals that are suited to living in that specific environment. The species vary significantly from place to place, as do the number of animals. There are 228,450 known animal species in the ocean, nearly 6,000 animal species in Australia, and almost 1,000 different species in the Florida Everglades alone. Just these three places show such a variance in animal diversity.

Humans do not know about animal diversity, and it cannot be studied in different habitats.
Humans do not know about animal diversity, and it cannot be studied in different habitats.
In each habitat, there are diverse groups of animals based on living conditions. For example, in a cold-weather habitat, the animals have to be adapted to live in that weather. There are similarities between some of the animals living in each habitat, but across the different habitats, there is great diversity. Humans can study these habitats and take note of the different species to decide how diverse an area is.

Which habitat would most likely have the lowest diversity among animal species??
Which habitat would most likely have the lowest diversity among animal species??
A tundra would have the lowest diversity among animal species because of the harsh conditions for survival. Antarctica is one example of a tundra habitat. Antarctica is the coldest place on our planet. Temperatures can reach -120oF, and winds can be powerful. There are no plants or animals that can make their homes permanently in central Antarctica. This area has no resources for animals, so they cannot survive.

Which environmental factor could cause an animal population to be less diverse?
Which environmental factor could cause an animal population to be less diverse?
All of these environmental factors could cause an animal population to be less diverse. If an animal is not adapted to freezing weather or very little rainfall, they will not have the necessary structures or characteristics to survive. If the animal is an herbivore and there are no plants present, the animal will starve. These are all factors that could limit an animal population.

What can you conclude about plant diversity in the parking lot compared to the park with a lake?
What can you conclude about plant diversity in the parking lot compared to the park with a lake?
When comparing the park with a lake to the parking lot, the observations in the data table show readers that there is less plant diversity in the parking lot. The parking lot is human-made, and there are lots of buildings and cement rather than grass and trees like a natural habitat would have.

Which habitat shows the least diversity in plant species?
The habitat that shows the least diversity in plant species is the Arctic tundra. In the other environments, there are at least one plant species, if not more. The Amazon jungle is home to nearly 80,000 plant species, and forests house a diverse population of plants as well. The grasslands only show one plant species, but depending on the area, there can be more.

Which habitat has greater plant diversity? Which piece of the text supports the claim?
- Amazon Rainforest: In the Amazon Rainforest is rains almost every day. There are very tall trees that create a canopy, and the ground of the forest is covered in plants. The plants on the ground try to grow wide or tall to reach sunlight. The very tall trees can block much of the sunlight.
- The Sahara Desert: The Sahara Desert is made entirely of sand. It rarely rains and is very dry. There are only a few plants, and they have small leaves. The sand is scorching and moves every time it is touched; when the wind blows, the sand shifts in all directions.

Plant species are diverse and live in many different habitats around the world. Plants adapt to their environment and are ideally suited to living in that location. Some habitats feature many species of plants, while others only host a few. In the two habitats listed the Amazon Rainforest has a great diversity of plants when compared to the Sahara Desert. The text evidence that supports this claim "...the ground of the forest is covered in plants." illudes to many plants being present in the rainforest.

What would the Sahara Desert have only a few plant species?
The Sahara Desert only has 500 plant species, which may seem like a large amount, but the Amazon Rainforest has nearly 80,000! The reason that the desert has so many fewer plant species and is less diverse is that the ground is scorching, shifts in the wind, is made of sand, and the region receives little to no rain. These conditions make it very difficult for plants to survive unless they are well adapted.

Why would the Amazon Rainforest be such a diverse plant habitat?
The Amazon Rainforest is a very diverse plant habitat because it has all of the things a plant could need to grow and survive. The rainforest is a wet, humid, and warm place that offers plenty of water and sunlight. Many animal species rely on these plants to make homes and for food. Plants have adapted to this environment and thrive in the conditions.

Grasslands - The grasslands in the Northern hemisphere are vast, open terrains with flowers and grass. There is enough rain to support small amounts of trees and lots of grass. The soil is thin and dry, and there are often wildfires. The temperatures range from very cold (in the negatives) to comfortable (in the mid-70's).
Why are the grasslands not a more plant diverse habitat?

Why are the grasslands not a more plant diverse habitat?
Grasslands are home to many plants and animals, but they are not as plant diverse as one may think. All of the answer choices list reasons why the grasslands don't have an abundance of varying plant species. The soil is thin and dry, and not all plants are adapted to this type of earth. There are frequently wildfires, and many plant species cannot recover after these incidents. Finally, there is little rainfall, so many trees and plants cannot function in this habitat. The plants that live in grasslands and do well have evolved and adapted over many years to live in this type of habitat.
