Exercise B

Flora, fauna, and microorganisms of all species have important roles to play in the natural balance of life on Earth. A group of different organisms, together with the environment they live in, form what is called an “ecosystem,” which consists of various plant and animal species, and their
habitats. To maintain the balance in an ecosystem, biodiversity is the key.
All species on Earth have important roles to play. For example, bees carry pollen from plant to plant during their search for food. If bees became extinct, many important plants would not be pollinated, and would fail to bear flowers, fruit or grain. For human beings, crop yields would fall abruptly, inevitably causing food shortages to arise around the world. Hence, it is no exaggeration to say that bees are of the utmost importance to human survival.
Biodiversity is the key that ensures the balance of the world's ecosystems and the continued survival of all the life. Biodiversity includes genetic diversity, species diversity, and habitat diversity. Different genes, different species, and the natural habitats allow species to grow and develop.
