A metric that measures the decline in population sizes, shrinkage of species, and geographic range is ________.
Minchanka [31]

Answer: Living Planet Index

Explanation:

The Living Planet Index is a survey measure of global biodiversity status based on the population abundance of vertebrate species in terrestrial, freshwater and marine habitats. We have to consider that a population is defined as a species within a geographical area. <u>It is used as a source of information to identify threats at the population level for each species on Planet Earth</u>.  

With this analysis, an overall decline of about 60 percent in population size has been seen between 1970 and 2014. The decline in species populations is particularly greatest in the tropics, with South America and Central America suffering the most dramatic decline. The numbers of freshwater species have also declined dramatically. However, measuring biodiversity (all the varieties of life that can be found on Earth and the relationships between them) is complex, so the index should consider indicators to measure changes in species distribution, extinction risk and changes in community composition.  

<u>The goal of the Living Planet Index is to achieve and promote global conservation of animals and their habitats.</u>

Fat and atp are different molecules tgat store energy compare the functions of these molecules in terms of energy storage
Julli [10]

Answer:

Fats and ATP are both energy molecules.

ATP is the source of energy which is directly used by each cell to carry out different functions. All cells use energy in the form of ATP. The mitochondria makes ATP by the process of cellular respiration whenever it is required by the body. ATP is not a stable molecule hence energy cannot be stored in this form.

Fats are long term energy storage molecules. Fats are stable molecules hence they can be used for long term energy storage.

In eukaryotes, numerous transcription factors are
V125BC [204]

Answer: check explanation.

Explanation:

Transcription is a process in which protein is being produced or synthesized. Transcription can also be defined as the transfer of genetic instructions in DNA to RNA. Transcription uses the DNA in the nucleus to make an RNA molecule. Then, the RNA will now leave the nucleus for ribosome(cytoplasm).

Transcription takes place in three steps and they are;

(1). INITIATION STEP: in this step, the RNA polymerase(an enzyme) binds to the promoter.

(2). ELONGATION STEP: in this step, we have the addition of nucleotides to the mRNA strand.

(3). TERMINATION STEP: In this step, we have the RNA polymerase crosses a terminating sequence in the gene. Here, the mRNA strand detaches itself from the DNA.

After the three steps above, we have the processing of the mRNA. This additional processing include, Splicing(removal of introns from mRNA), Editing( changes in nucleotides in mRNA) and Polyadenylation(addition of tail).

_____ helps prevent mutations from occurring over and over again. Binary fission; Multiple fission; Mitosis; Meiosis
Kipish [7]
<span>Meiosis helps prevent mutations from occuring over and over again. In Meiosis process, the number of chromosomes during reproduction was caused in half. During this process, the chromosomes that could potentiall caused mutation could be tossed out and therefore reduce its chance from happening</span>
