Biodiversity has a fundamental value to humans because we are so dependent on it for our cultural, economic, and environmental well-being. Some argue that it is our moral responsibility to preserve the Earth’s incredible diversity for the next generation. Others simply like knowing that nature’s great diversity exists and that the opportunity to utilize it later, if need be, is secure. Scientists value biodiversity because it offers clues about natural systems that we are still trying to understand. Arguably, the greatest value to humans, however, comes from the ?ecosystem services? it provides.
Biodiversity forms the backbone of viable ecosystems on which we depend on for basic necessities, security, and health. By breaking down plant and animal matter, for example, insects and other invertebrates make nutrients available to plants and are integral to the carbon and nitrogen cycles. Other species pollinate crops, an essential service for farmers. Healthy ecosystems can mitigate or prevent flooding, erosion, and other natural disasters. These ecosystem services also play a hand in the functioning of our climate and in both air and water quality.
Answer:
substrate-level phosphorylation
Explanation:
Substrate-level phosphorylation is the metabolic reaction which results in formation of energy currency molecules, ATP or GTP by direct transfer of a phosphoryl group to the ADP or GDP from the another phosphorylated compound.
<u>In citric acid cycle, Succinyl-CoA in the presence of succinyl-CoA synthase is converted to succinate. Condensation reaction (Substrate-level phosphorylation) of GDP and Pi takes place which results in the formation of GTP.</u>
Molar mass of FE2O3=2(55.85)+3(16)=159.7
2.56g*1mol/159.7*2mol/1mol*55.85g/1mol=1.79g
