    Number 15. What are the four components of biodiversity? Is the answer...Variety of different species (species diversity), genetic variability among individuals within each species (genetic diversity), variety of ecosystems (ecological diversity), and functions such as energy flow and matter cycling needed for the survival of species and biological communities (functional diversity).

    yeah megan what nat said is the answer, it was worded a little different but it says it pretty much word for word on p.82 on the right hand side. Also, natalie for number 15 i put Genetic Diversity, Species Diversity, Ecological Diversity, and Functional Diversity. Idk if that's right but I kinda needed help with that too!

    Justin replied to Megan W
    Megan W.,
    Number twenty on chapter four can be found on page eighty-two. It's under the heading "How Much of the World's Net Rate of Biomass Production Do We Use?" The question is worded weird.
