The document provides information about biodiversity at three levels: species, ecosystem, and genetic. It defines biodiversity as the variety of life on Earth and provides the example of shark bay and great barrier reef world heritage sites. It notes that criteria for a biodiversity hotspot include having at least 1,500 species of vascular plants that are endemic as well as having lost at least 70% of original habitat. The document also discusses classifying cells and comparing structures of plant, animal and fungi cells.

1. Describe the three levels at which
diversity can be considered 2. Define 'biodiversity' and provide an example that illustrates its meaning. 3. What is the criteria for a biodiversity hotspot Revision Three levels of biodiversity
Species, ecosystem and genetic
Need to conserve biodiversity:
survival and resilience
Stability of ecosystems
Clean water
Purify atmosphere
Conserve biodiversity by:
International agreements example: World Heritage Sites Shark Bay and
Great Barrier Reef
Criteria for a biodiversity hotspot
1500 species of vascular plants as endemics
High diversity of local endemic species
Lost at least 70% of its original habitat
Classification Features of living things of Cells (MRS GREN) Cells vary in size All organisms made up of cells Surrounded by a membrane Have many parts able to perform specialised functions Basic structural & functional units of life Classification of Cells Cell Theory : all living things composed of one or more cells & come from pre-existing cells (Schleiden & Schwann) Cell specialisation and organisation allowed organisms to survive many different environments Activity 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 38, 39 Classification of Cells Cells have many features in common, reflecting their common evolutionary past Classification of Cells
