All I have to say is like… "the ecosystem is more diverse because it has more biotic factors" can you add on this?

Diversity is dependent on two factors: Number of different species and relative abundance of those species.
A more diverse ecosystem has both plants and animals, and the largest number of higher groups, families, genera, and species. The Basic Distinction of both Aristotle’s Philosophy and science, is the Species-Genera Distinction, which is here used as a symbol for the entire naming system, from highest group to the lowest, or species. Both Plants and Animals are characterized by one molecule, which takes two forms. It is a benzene ring, with long carbon chains; it centered around a copper ion, it is green; if centered around a ferric (iron) ion, it is red. The green on is called Chlorophyll; The Red one is called Hemoglobin. There is also a Blue one centered around Cobalt,. which functions as an oxygen carrier in horseshoe crabs.
