The release of pyrophosphate from the incoming nucleotide, and then hydrolysis of the pyrophosphate to inorganic phosphate provides energy for the addition of nucleotide onto a DNA strand.

Nucleotides are linked together by a condensation event that yields a tiny, stable molecule. But the released molecule is pyrophosphate, not water. A good amount of free energy is released when water is added to pyrophosphate.

The high-energy link between the ejected beta and gamma phosphates stores the energy for each incoming nucleotide's addition. The subsequent hydrolysis that occurs drives the process. A substantially greater quantity of energy is released when two phosphates are separated into individual phosphates.

ludmilkaskok [199]
The best answer is: introducing exotic species into <span> new environments. This can be actually bad, as new species can actually reduce the biodiversity in the environments to which they're introduced</span> , such when cats hunt indigenous birds.

I was a bit thinking about the last option too: making sure local people benefit from conservation efforts. This is not one of the classical goals of the conservation efforts, but since the previous one is definitely correct, i don't this one is. (it's not that it's not a goal, but it isn't a main focus)
