The term biodiversity is a term which composed all the living organisms on the earth.  
But when we consider a small geographical area then term diversity is used.  
Diversity is the variety of life found at one place in one time.
So the given example of the habitat visualize biodiversity because it shows degree of variation of life forms within a specified area.

Consider a closed loop C in a magnetic field as shown in figure. The flux passing through the loop is defined by choosing a surface whose edge coincides with the loop and using the formula phi=vecB_1 . dvecA_1 + vecB_2 . dvecA_2 +…. Now if we choose two different surfaces S_1 and S_2 having C as their edge, would we get the same answer for flux. Justify your answer.
