Which statement best exemplifies the biodiversity of an ecosystem? a. a small pond has about 1,300 organisms and 26 different species living in it. b. a small forest supports a population of 35 elephants. c. a desert receives some rainfall, which supports several species of plants. d. a pond is home to animals that are able to live in the polluted water.

The correct answer is A. A small pond has about 1,300 organism and 26 different species living in it.

Explanation:

In biology, the word biodiversity refers to the existence of a wide variety of different organisms or lifeforms including plants and animals species in a specific habitat or all the around the world. This means, if a habitat or ecosystem is biodiverse is because in it multiple species and organisms can be found. This biodiversity varies according to weather and other conditions and can be negatively reduced through mass extinctions in which multiple organisms and species are killed and therefore biodiversity is reduced. Considering this, the statement that best exemplifies the biodiversity of a ecosystem is "A small pond has about 1,300 organism and 26 different species living in it" because in this example the existence of multiple organisms (1,300) of different species (26) in the same ecosystem (pond) is described which is consistent with the definition of the word biodiversity.

wordsworth tends to see nature as 'out there'; a presence which surrounds humans, and contributes to human life, but is different from humans. if you look at a typical wordsworth poem (there was a boy, ye knew him well ye rocks) - wordsworth talks about nature as something that needs to be learned about and understood, nature is different from us.  

if you look at a byron poem (the isles of greece is a good one) - byron looks at nature mainly for what it already means to man. wordsworth will look at a landscape and see the mountains, trees, valleys, and rivers as almost spiritual presences - wordsworth wants to get to know nature.  

byron will look at the same landscape and he will want to know who lives there, what are the villages? are there any farms or mines, is there some history?  

wordsworth looks at nature for what it is; byron is forever asking what it means.  

wordsworth thinks that humans are part of nature; byron thinks that nature is part of being human
