Is the current rate of species loss 10 times the typical rate of extinction?

Biology
1 answer:
Anika [276]3 years ago
7 0
The natural rate of extinction as assumed by science is about 5 species per year. Currently scientists estimate we are losing species at 1000-10000 times that rate, with multiple species disappearing every day. A note on this idea is that the average extinction rate gives an unrealistic depiction of nature when we consider the catastrophic extinction events that ended the dinosaurs and shaped the ice age.

Where does cellular respiration take place?
VMariaS [17]

B. Mitochondria

The process of cellular respiration is essentially when oxygen and carbon transfuse themselves together to create carb on dioxide, which in turns creates energy.

The entire process is formed in the powerhouse of the cell, or in other words, the mitochondria.

A part of this question that may have been confusing is the answer, "lungs". Since respiration is correlated to the lungs, you may have been confused. However, this is a process that occurs within your cells, so on a small scale than your entire body.
