Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ecological diversity focuses on the variety of ecosystems and habitats, structural diversity examines physical variations, and system diversity is not a recognized term in the context of biodiversity. Functional diversity, on the other hand, refers to the range of biological and chemical processes that are necessary for the functioning of ecosystems, including energy flow and matter recycling.
