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."
Cellulose makes the cell walls of all plant cells.
Option B
<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>
Enzymes are biomolecules that act as biocatalysts and to enhance the rate of a chemical reaction. Lipids and proteins make up the cell membrane bilayer. Cholesterol is a lipid molecule that comes under the category of very low density lipoprotein. Its not associated with storing the genetic information. The DNA stores the genetic information.
Glucose is the chief respiratory substrate of a cell. Its not associated with the increase in rate of a reaction. But cellulose is the molecule that is a polymer of glucose that is associated with the formation of cell walls in plants.
C. is your correct answer.
<span>If the parent's reproductive cells or gametes contain 12 chromosomes each, the number of chromosomes in the zygote is 24. Fertilization is the fusion of two haploid gametes and results in the creation of a diploid zygote. If two haploid gametes containing 12 chromosomes each fuse, the zygote will have 24 chromosomes (12 + 12 = 24).</span>
