<span> Both of them are nucleic acids. And that is about the only similarity they share. ;)
One of the major differences between the two is that DNA is double-stranded and RNA is single stranded. Also, DNA contains the nucleotide T whereas RNA contains U.
RNA copies the genetic information found within DNA and uses it to assemble protein, as well as ribosomes. Hence, RNA is a crucial part in protein synthesis, being directly involved in it, whereas DNA is indirectly involved in this process.
There are three types of RNA: mRNA (messenger RNA), rRNA (ribosomal RNA) and tRNA (transfer RNA). As far as DNA is concerned, there is only one type of DNA. ;) Another difference.
Also, in some viruses the RNA replaces the DNA but the DNA will never replace the RNA. Yet another difference. </span>
Why does the cell membrane of a tube worm stop the flow of excess salt into the body?
To maintain a stable environment; homeostasis
The function of the excretory system is to remove wastes (excrete wastes).
One of the direct consequences of a decrease in natural habitat is a decrease in biodiversity. Option C.
<h3>What is biodiversity?</h3>
Biodiversity refers to biological diversity. It is the totality of various species of plants, animals, and microbes present in a particular area.
Plants, animals, and microbes occupy different parts of the ecosystem as their homes. They could be found virtually everywhere but more diversity tends to be present in forests.
Forests hold a large chunk of the world's biodiversity. Thus, when an increase in the population of humans leads to the clearing of the forest for construction purposes, millions of habitats are being destroyed apart from the vegetation that is removed.
Apart from deforestation, pressure also mounts on the remaining biodiversity because of the services they provide to humans. Hence, all these lead to a decrease in biodiversity.
