Biology Glossary

biodiversity

In Biodiversity, biodiversity means biodiversity is a curriculum-aligned term linked to the learning objective: Explain that biodiversity can reduce dependence of one species on another for food, shelter, or maintenance of the physical environment. This matters in Biodiversity and the effect of human interaction on ecosystems because it supports the learning objective to explain that biodiversity can reduce dependence of one species on another for food, shelter, or maintenance of the physical environment. Use biodiversity only in this subtopic-relevant sense so the definition stays concise, curriculum-specific, and useful for AQA GCSE Biology revision. Students should use this term accurately when they explain the biology, identify symptoms, or justify an answer in GCSE Biology questions.
