Our planet’s diverse, thriving ecosystems may seem like permanent fixtures, but they’re actually vulnerable to collapse. Jungles can become deserts, and reefs can become lifeless rocks. What makes one ecosystem strong and another weak in the face of change? Kim Preshoff details why the answer, to a large extent, is biodiversity.

class answers
Biodiversity
_____ecosystem______ diversity
_____species______ diversity
_____genetic______ diversity
Why is the rainforest so biodiverse?
The genetic variety within species.
2 examples of interconnection in the rainforest are….
Liana vines and tree tops, plants providing food for animals that carry their seeds
Genetic Diversity allows species to cope with _____changes_____. Species that lack genetic diversity are ____more____ vulnerable to fluctuations or changes.
Keystone species are ____vital____organisms that many other organisms depend on for survival____on earth_____.
Why is the rainforest more likely to survive change than the ecosystem that corals live in?
The forest can stay resilient and recover from change but organisms in the coral reefs have dependant relationships with each other
hope this helped. keep your heads up kings and queens, we are almost out of this.

I searched for it.
I literally just searched for this because I was looking up ecology to help me make my worldbuilding project more realistic
In this video, I have learned that maintaining biodiversity is essential for preserving the balance of nature. Diversity among organisms is essential to promote symbiotic relationships and to have harmonious interactions in the many ecosystems that humans lived in.
I’m just here for online school
Who else??

Lillia Pullman me
i wish i wasn't but yeah
In this video I learned that biodiversity serve as the habitat of all living organisms and now I know that all living creatures needs other organisms to live,and the more plants,insects,and animal species living in one area is the the greater the biodiversity and the healthier ecosystem..so we should keep our biodiversity clean and protected...

Biodiversity is the variety of life on earth, which each individual brings to the ecosystem. Everyone contributes to the environment that each of us benefits from, therefore when one species goes extinct, it has an effect on us all. Every single one of us forms the basis of the ecosystem.

Yes that is true
I use to watch this for fun but now its for summer school. Man it hits different now, I want to cry.
I'm 27 and I'm still learning. Students, keep learning. Ask the biggest f***ing questions you can think of. Challenge yourselves, each other, your teachers.
We need to come together. We should be learning about precious resources and how to ensure that they continue to exist.
The economy means nothing if the environment isn't being considered. Environment is the real value, economy is the illusion that has always been against nature.
Wanting constant acceleration of wealth in numerical value without considering where the vast majority of wealth is actually coming from. Not the economy or the pyramid, but the effervescent environment which surrounds and constitutes possibility.
I thought you were 207 and still learning. Great job, man.
We've only got one planet so we better protect it and stop destroying it.
+Byzancez Actually, we have 8 planets.
Earth is the only planet which is able to support life in all its forms so far.
+Byzancez no not really Mars has water
+Devin and Phillip gaming That water is very salty, and none of our species on Earth can live off that water. Mars also barely has an atmosphere, meaning that water has a chance of evaporating, or being frozen. So, Earth is the only planet that is able to support life.
+Jaafer Irfan true, but scientist found a planet very similar to earth, but much larger. although it hasnt been confirmed that its able to support life, it very likely to.

In this video I learned that some of the species are interdependent with each other where the loss of the keystone species can also affect the species that depends to it. This shows that we should all respect the species around us.
Diversity, a term described to explain variation within the growth of species.Biodiversity is the collection of flora and fauna of a place. Different plants, animals, marine life, microorganisms, insects, habitats, ecosystem etc.that makes our planet so unique and so fascinating.
I always wonder about why biodiversity is important. Now I get a best answer! Because we also are part of the ecosystem, and biodiversity is one of the essential insurance policy. Thank you TED-Ed
I'll add a few other reasons:
Food: Living in an environment with a diversity of species provides people with all kinds of different food. We would get very bored if we could only eat one kind of fruit all the time. And we probably wouldn't be that well nourished.
Aesthetics: looking at nature and all of the beautiful animals makes peoples lives more enjoyable. Imagine we could only grow one kind of flower in our garden. Life would be boring.
Medicine: a vast majority of the medicine we use to treat illness and cure disease originates in nature. Don't get confused, synthetic compounds are usually created to mimic naturally occurring compounds. And the vast diversity of animals and plants provides humans with nearly unlimited research tools.
Time: when we lose a species, we lost something that took millions of years to evolve.
Add your reasons.
Intrinsic value, the most important of all reasons imo
Thank you
Our very survival, in the end. We are not a self-sustainng species, most species arent. We need what the earth gives us to survive. If we continue to threaten species, the loop will unravel and our own will be threatened
@@sethvanpelt5707 True and as you mention that is true for the survival of other species. Just a very small number of examples, many trees rely on fungus mycelia to transport nutrients. Many animals rely on certain species of plants for food, and plants themselves rely on insects like bees to reproduce.
It's not convincing. There can be much more or much less biodiversity without us noticing any difference for our survival or food/aesthetics/medicine...
To me it is not demonstrated that we are threatened with less biodiversity or better off with more biodiversity.
People often are changing the subject by pointing out the danger of "no biodiversity at all" but that's not the point.

This is a very interesting and informative educational video about biodiversity.... I also love the beautiful animation!!! Thank you!
Compared to other entertaining contents here in UA-cam, I bet this one is so much more important to learn and understand.
omg i thought i was gonna get rick rolled by my teacher but thankfully it brought me here
This is very informative, I have learned about biodiversity and its components, we as human are biodiversity as well when a few strands are lost, it can cut too many links and we risk unraveling all.
A way of thinking about this is by thinking of the threads that make up a shirt. Cutting one thread may not cause problems, but if you cut too many or a critical thread, then the whole shirt will fall apart.
I discovered that some species are depending on one another, and that the loss of a keystone species can have an impact on the dependent species as well. This demonstrates the need of respecting the local wildlife. Biodiversity is the range of life that exists on Earth, and each species contributes to the environment in a unique way. Each of us contributes to the environment from which we all benefit, so when one species disappears, it affects us all. The ecology is built on the foundation of each and every one of us.
Everyone: Watches video for school (so am I)
Me: *Takes screenshots of all the pretty pics*
In this video, I could realize the importance of biodiversity. Before, watching this video, I perceived the issue of biodiversity, but I didn't know completely that biodiversity influences all the creatures living on earth, and evenly humans!! And, the most impressive part in this video is " Several species and organisms are intricately bound together, so if on species disappears, the ecosystem will not collapse immediately but it will be the beginning of weakening the foundation of the entire system. Moreover, learning that biodiversity is important for humans and all living things on Earth has also made us feel that we must strive for the preservation of biodiversity.
Best video to recommend to my students about the importance of biodiversity.
Incredibly informative video on why it’s so important to preserve biodiversity while we can. Learning more about how special and valuable our planet is will hopefully make people more willing to act and protect it!
Absolutely loved this! I love the design and structure of the video, so intriguing and pretty to look at! Thank you for the great information, I'm currently studying this.
This biodiversity teaching film is both fascinating and enlightening.
always love Ted-ed's ending part~ they always give you something to think after you watch the video~
thank you very much TEd-Ed for enlightening us about biodiversity.
I wonder that why this informative video has not so many views?
and Ted-ed, would you provide the related papers, please?
I watch these for fun and because I'm one of those people who love and enjoy learning. Btw this was very informative and well made!
Relatable, especially when it's presented in such a nice way.
Lovely video about biodiversity and taught me so much
i love it ted-ed so much it is about our world and for everyone,care and health.
This video is interesting, this can make someone realize what is the importance of every living things in the environment. I've learned so much because of this video, thank you🤗
POV: you came here because your teacher gave you a link and you just need to watch it even tho you just want to go to bed and sleep all day
Yyyyyyyýyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
i hate School but yessss
I really liked this video this has helped me on my science project!!
Low-key would fall asleep if the animation was so good and cause I'm here cause online school ;-;
Every single being has its purpose. Removing one element can cause change but it isn't really applicable to all, it depends with its complexity and density. It also depends on the relationship of a bigger group such as depending on it for survival. In conclusion, one should not be too greedy when "cutting down too many links".
I'm using this video for my online English class tomorrow based on learning about the environment.
saaaaaaaame i have to write its summary
i watched this video for my science class! #truly amazing and informative. i feel i understand biodiversity a lot now
This was incredibly educational for me since I learned about biodiversity and its components. Humans are also part of biodiversity, and if a few strands are lost, it might cut too many ties, putting the entire system at risk. I discovered in this video that some species are interdependent on one another, and that the loss of a keystone species can have an impact on the species that depend on it. This demonstrates the importance of treating other species with respect. -ARGAYOSO
Treat all other species with respect, including domestic "livestock" animals. Go vegan, live up to your morals.
i'm taking Animal and Plant Biodiversity subject this semester and it is really cool subject and maybe someday i can be a part of biodiversity conservation
awesome video. Hello Ted, I am Azam from Malaysia, Can I use your video for teaching, educational and research gallery presentation? The purpose of the gallery is to educate young people to love their earth/nature. Thank you.
Azam Yaacob Ted isn’t a person it’s a group
@@tobylalich6927 yes, but the comment still makes sense
This video is very informative and entertaining to watch. I learned from this video that our ecosystems are vulnerable to collapse. Organisms need other organisms to live, organisms in biodiversity depend on each other or the species are interconnected that's why when one is removed it can have bad effects on the other organisms. But that's not true in every case, if biodiversity is rich and healthy, that one species gap won't cause it to unravel, the biodiversity will stay resilient and it can recover from change. Biodiversity can be stronger if there are plenty of organisms in it. For us to avoid damaging biodiversity, we should clean and protect our biodiversity. Biodiversity plays a huge role in human survival because it supplies our needs and keeps the planet working and helps the planet flow its necessities to distribute in the ecosystem for the life forms living on it. Humans do not and cannot live in isolation from this web. This video helped me realize that everything or everyone has their purpose. We cannot survive on our own. We still need to depend on other people just like in biodiversity, organisms depend on each other to survive. Artificial selection is the identification by humans of desirable traits in plants and animals, and the steps taken to enhance and perpetuate those traits in future generations. Artificial selection works the same way as natural selection, except that with natural selection it is nature, not human interference, that makes these decisions.
ty for summarisingit this is very helpful
I like all the paper artworks they make
Great, simple explanation. Thank you!
this really helps me for my micro teaching thank you
I learned that biodiversity can be complex with its different components, how such species are interdependent with each other, how they affect each one and their impact on the ecosystem.
In this, I learned that Biodiversity is build by ecosystem diversity, species diversity and genetic diversity, the Biodiversity can be more stronger if there is another animal system, with out coral, many sea animals can't survive because some times if a system lost, the net of the system is going to break and lastly, ecosystem diversity, species diversity and genetic diversity together make the biodiversity is very important to the survival in the Earth
The trees, plants, all kinds of animals of all sizes and all kinds of microbes quite literally form the biological life support system. This biological life support system is an intricate web of biodiversity. Humans do not and cannot live in isolation from this web.
I saw a program on terraforming Mars where some scientists discussed that to colonise a new planet permanently, we cannot just go there and live in isolation! We need to take our biological life support system with us. And that means we have to terraform the planet and then take all kinds of trees, plants, animals and microbes with us. They are our life support system.
Right now, we Humans are hurting biodiversity in so many ways without the realisation that it's our life support system.
YtubeUserr maybe you like write😂
A big part of humans do realize. But there are politicians like Trump and bolsonaro that deny the importance of the environment, science and even good common sense
@Arabella Nava-Riddle nope, did not. What makes you say that?
Whydid you comment that no ones gonna read that
This blog help me learn and understand the meaning of biodiversity and its importance. Biodiversity pertains to the variety of life and it is seen in the number of species in an ecosystem. with the help of this blog, l realize that no matter how small the organism is, somehow it has its purpose. Every organism may different from each other in terms of characteristics but they have their one similarities. That is to live and fulfill their own roles and purpose as a part of this world. Nowdays, we, humans, one of the factors that causes their extinction. I realize that we must take an action in order to protect our biodiversity. Now is the time to set things right.
Biodiversity is very crucial for human survival, everything here on earth are interconnected thats why when one system is damage the other systems are affected, the sad thing here is that humans are the one destroying it.
by: Lemuel A. Abay
Biodiversity is a term used to describe the enormous variety of life on Earth. It can be used more specifically to refer to all of the species in one region or ecosystem. Biodiversity refers to every living thing, including plants, bacteria, animals, and humans.Biodiversity is the variability among living organisms from all sources, including terrestrial, marine, and other aquatic ecosystems and the ecological complexes of which they are part; this includes diversity within species, between species, and of ecosystems.
thank you for a lovely animation, i love it how birds fly without moving their wings :)
Doing a Human Impact on our Environment unit for 9th grade science classes, love the Ted-ed talks for this subject. Good for distance learning, short but packed with info.
@Caitlyn Ostfeld same
The animations are so beautiful.
This is interesting to watch bc I like animation and this is nice to know about happy this channel exists
The video is very informative. It explains how things in the world are linked together. One loss can have a great impact not just on that ecosystem, but also in other places.
Also, bear in mind with humility (not human hubris) that other species do not need us, we're the "needy" ones that need them. We are the "measure of all things."
This was really interesting and informative...but I got distracted around 2:53 because the coral on the left reminded me of ET's finger...lol

According to our books and to our modular learning kit, biodiversity refers to all the wildlife and plant life that is around us, all over the world. It refers to the plentitude of flora and fauna around the planet earth, microorganisms included. Biodiversity is incredibly essential to the planet, as it is what maintains the balance of ecological systems on the earth. Artificial selection is the intentional breeding of plants or animals. It means the same thing as selective breeding and is an ancient method of genetic engineering. Selective breeding is a technique used when breeding domesticated animals, such as dogs, pigeons or cattle. Your blog is great and you described it well. ❤️❤️👍
Biodiversity is important in balancing our nature. Diversity among organisms is highly significant to promote symbiotic relationships and to have a balanced interactions in the differemt ecosystem that we lived.Nakakatulong din ang biodiversity saating buhay dahil dito tayo kumukuha ng pagkain,clean air, at fresh water.Pero sa panahon ngayon ang mga puno at hayop ay nauubos na dahil inaabuso na na ng mga tao gaya na lamang sa isda dinadamita nila ito kaya nauubos, at sa puno naman inaabuso rin tinotroso ito ng mga tao kaya dapat iwasan natin ang mga masasamang makaka-apekto saating biodiversity.
In this vedio I learned that biodiversity serve as the habitat as all living organisms and now i know that all living organism to live and the more plants, insects, and animal species living in one area is the greater the biodiversity and the healthier ecosystem so we should keep our biodiversity clean and protected
There are millions of plant and animal species on earth. This species interact in an ecosystem in order to maintain their health and in this video i learn that diodiversity and ecosystem are influenced by the evolutionary forces that shift, expand, and reshape my understanding of the different life-forms.

The pleasure of watching this blog because there is a lesson, this blog wants to convey, or discussed pictures is how the lord made things everything; Everything he has done has a reason we really can't understand everything he did was mysterious;
Sana ay mapanuod ito ng mga kabataan para malaman nila kung ano ang biodiversity. Ang biodiversity ay importante sa ating mga tao dahil dito tayo kumukuhan ng pang araw-araw. Katulad na lamang nang mga mangigisda dapat wag nilang lasunin ang yamang dagat para hindi ito masira.
Mas maganda talaga na ito ay mapanuod ng mga kabataan para maingganyo na alagaan ang ating kapaligiran at matuto.

A great explanation of rivet popper hypothesis given by Paul Ehrlich
This video taught me that our ecosystems are vulnerable to collapsing. Because species are interdependent on one another or need one another to survive, when one is removed, it may have negative repercussions on the remaining species. This is true of all living things. That isn't always the case, though; in certain cases, a species gap won't cause the biodiversity to collapse; instead, it will remain resilient and be able to bounce back from change. If there are many different types of species, then biodiversity can be stronger. We should maintain and safeguard our biodiversity in order to prevent damage.

Mahalaga ang biodiversity dahil dito tayo nakatira kaya dapat natin itong ingatan dahil kung hindi natin ito iingatan ay parang hindi narin natin iniingatan ang ating mga sarili.Dahil iisa lang ang planetang ating tinitirahan kaya dapat natin itong alagaan at wag sirain dahil pag hindi natin ito inalagaan patuloy na masisira ang ating biodiversity
