Study Notes

Biodiversity and Conservation

Biodiversity refers to the variety of living organisms on Earth.
Conserving plants and animals is important to maintain ecological balance, preserve evolutionary history, and ensure the long-term survival of species.
The purpose of conserving plants and animals is to protect and preserve their habitats, populations, and ecosystems.

Classification of Organisms

The scientific name for cats is Felidae.
The genus name for all cats, whether domestic or wild, is Felis.
In the context of cat classification, the term 'genus' represents a level of classification above species and below family.

Species and Ecosystems

A species is defined as a group of organisms that can interbreed and produce fertile offspring.
Individuals must be able to interbreed and produce fertile offspring to be considered members of the same species.
An ecosystem is a community of living and non-living things interacting with each other in a specific environment.

Natural Causes of Deforestation

Natural causes of deforestation include forest fires, earthquakes, and hurricanes.
Forest fires have a devastating impact on forests, causing widespread destruction and loss of life.
Hurricanes are a natural cause of deforestation, resulting in the spreading of destruction over a large area that is not easily controlled.
During an earthquake, the life on the disturbed land area is disrupted, and ecosystems can be severely affected.
