Biology: Diversity of Organisms (Program 7)

Illustration of the carbon cycle: Plants intake CO2, herbivores (giraffe) eat plants, carnivores (lion) eat herbivores, carnivores release CO2, and then plants absorb CO2. Caption: releases carbon dioxide back into the air.

Biodiversity, or biological diversity, refers to the variety of plants, animals, and microorganisms that exist. The biodiversity of an environment is important because it helps keep the environment in a natural balance. An ecosystem which is species-rich is more resilient and adaptable to external stress than one in which the range of species is limited. Part of the "Biology" series.
