Today, any environment surrounded by other ecosystems that are unlike it is subject to Wilson’s theory of island biogeography. Because they are geographically isolated from other related ecosystems, these ecologies are referred to as "islands." Waterbodies divide tropical islands, but this idea also takes into account mountaintops, caverns, and other isolated ecosystems.

<h3>What is Wilson’s theory of island biogeography?</h3>
  • The biologist Edward O. Wilson and environmentalist Robert MacArthur published The Theory of Island Biogeography in 1967. It is widely considered as a foundational work in the ecology and biogeography of islands. The book was reissued by the Princeton University Press in 2001 as a volume in their "Princeton Landmarks in Biology" series.
  • The hypothesis that insular biota maintain a dynamic equilibrium between extinction and immigration rates was made more well-known by the book. An island's pace of new species immigration will decline as the number of species increases, while the rate of extinction of native species will rise.
  • Thus, MacArthur and Wilson anticipate that there will come a point of equilibrium where the rate of immigration and the rate of extinction are equal.

Witch is the site of the most ATP production during cellular respiration
mihalych1998 [28]

I don't know how specific you need to get for this question. The basic answer would be the mitochondria as it is where the Krebs Cycle, the Electron Transport Chain, and Chemiosmosis (also referred to as oxidative phosphorylation) all occur. Chemiosmosis is where the majority of ATP is produced during cellular respiration, and it primarily occurs in the matrix of the mitochondria as protons move down the gradient through ATP Synthetase channels.

A student wants to compare the amounts of CO2 given off by yeast provided
Dovator [93]

Explanation:

A sugar is a source of carbohydrate which is made up of carbon and oxygen atoms. Providing a yeast with more amount of sugar will increase the process of fermentation which is the anaerobic respiration. The carbon dioxide will be released after this process. The released carbon dioxide gas can be measured by observing the shape of the balloon and measuring the quantity of carbon dioxide present in the balloon.
