Ascientist is studying the biodiversity of an ecosystem that has a cool climate. the scientist counts the number and types of organisms in a 5 foot by 5 foot area. she finds that the ecosystem has very low biodiversity. another scientist studies the same ecosystem. he counts the number and types of organisms in a 1,000 foot by 1,000 foot area and finds that the ecosystem has high biodiversity.

what likely caused these different results?

a. the scientist who found high biodiversity observed fewer niches.

b. the scientist who found high biodiversity observed more plants than animals.

c. the scientist who found low biodiversity studied the ecosystem on cold days.

d. the scientist who found low biodiversity studied too small of an area.

Explanation:

The correct answer would be the last option.

Biodiversity is defined as the sum total of different varieties of living organisms present in a particular area.

High biodiversity means that the particular area has many varieties of the living organisms and low biodiversity means that the area has a low variety of living organisms.

The two scientists got different results due to the reason they explore the different size of the area.

One scientist only studied the 5 foot by 5-foot area which is very small as compared to the 1000 foot by 1000 foot area studied by another scientist.
