6.B Life Systems – Biodiversity

B2. Exploring and Understanding Concepts

B2.2 demonstrate an understanding of biodiversity as the diversity of life on Earth, including the diversity of organisms within species, among species in a community, and among communities and the habitats that support them

B2.3 describe ways in which biodiversity within species is essential for their survival

B2.4 describe ways in which biodiversity within and among communities is essential for maintaining the resilience of these communities

B2.5 describe interrelationships within species, between species, and between species and their natural environment, and explain how these interrelationships sustain biodiversity

B2.6 explain how invasive species reduce biodiversity in local environments

B2.7 explain how climate change contributes to a loss of biodiversity, and describe the impact of this loss

B2.8 describe the importance of biodiversity in supporting agriculture, including Indigenous agriculture around the world
