Question

The blocks above represent ecosystems, with each species type designated by a different color. Which block represents the greatest diversity?

1
2
4
5

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is 5 (D)

Step-by-step explanation:

Block 1 has only 1 different type of species

Block 2 has only 2 different types of species

Block 3 has only 2 different types of species

Block 4 has only 3 different types of species

However Block 5 has 3 different types of species, but they are all of equal size or abundance.

In Block 4 pink and blue are a minority and so the species abundance is low (while the species richness is equal to block 5), block 5 has a higher species abundance and an equal species richness than block 4.

I also just took the test and got it right

Answer 2

Sorry if I’m wrong but I believe it’s 5
