Answer:

The electron transport chain (ETC) is located in the mitochodrial cristae. As electrons move from one protein complex to the other via redox reaction, energy is used to pump hydrogen ions (H+) from the matrix to the intermembrane space of the mitochondria. As hydrogen ions flow down the concentration gradient from the intermembrane space to the mitochodrial matrix, ATP is synthesized by the enzyme ATP synthase.

The ATP synthase complex can be compared to the gates of a dam. when the gates of a hydroelectric dam are opened, water rushes through, and electricity (energy) is produced. Similarly, when H+ ions flow down a gradient from intermembrane space into the matrix, the enzyme ATP synthase synthesizes ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate or P<em>i. </em>This process is called chemiosmosis because ATP production is linked with the establishment of a proton (H+) gradient across the membranes.

Answer:

Convergent Evolution

Explanation:

Convergent evolution is the development of similar traits, across many lineages by plants and animals who originally do not have these traits but developed them because of the biome that they find themselves. Carnivorous plants are examples of living things that have undergone carnivorous evolution.

Plants lacking in Nitrogen have undergone carnivorous evolution for up to seven lineages. Sundews for instance have developed flypaper traps, a carnivorous property that helps them trap insects that they eventually digest.

George Monbiot is spearheading the Rewilding Movement. The environmentalist and writer is prominent in the platform. He was featured in TED Talk and talked about a large scale conservation approach aiming to restore the lost habitats. Here is an excerpt of his speech where he discusses the lost megafuna:

"What megafauna, you say? Well, every continent had one, apart from Antarctica. When Trafalgar Square in London was excavated, the river gravels there were found to be stuffed with the bones of hippopotamus, rhinos, elephants, hyenas, lions. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, there were lions in Trafalgar Square long before Nelson's Column was built. All these species lived here in the last interglacial period, when temperatures were pretty similar to our own. It's not climate, largely, which has got rid of the world's megafaunas. It's pressure from the human population hunting and destroying their habitats which has done so."

Answer:

It could largely impact the way you look.

Explanation:

Since 100% of your DNA decides how you look, if even one thing changes, one part of your look would change. Sometimes it's something big like eye color, or sometimes like a small change in skin color.
