Answer:

150-200 species

Step-by-step explanation:

Extinction refers to the disapearance of all the individuals of a species when the last one dies. This means that there are no more individuals that can reproduce so the species can grow its population. The scientists have determined that 150-200 species like plants and birds go extinct in an average day.
