Answer - Concept selected - Biodiversity.
Molecular level - Molecular level of biodiversity abounds throughout life, being found within one individual organism, between individuals of the same species, between related species, within and between phyla, within and between ecosystems, and throughout evolution.
Individual organism - Here we recognize biodiversity by species—a group of individual living organisms that can interbreed. For example, the species include blue whales, white-tailed deer, white pine trees, sunflowers, and microscopic bacteria that can't even be seen by the naked eye.
Population - It is recognized as an indirect driver of biodiversity loss, as human demands for resources like food and fuel play a key role in driving biodiversity degradation. This happens primarily through the conversion of ecosystems to food production.
Community / Ecosystem -Biodiversity is genetic or physical. Differences of animals and plants within species, between species.Ecosystem includes Relationship in a Habitat between the living organisms as well as the nonliving things that interact with each other in a given environment or area.
