Answer:
Option (C)
Explanation:
Biodiversity usually refers to the different varieties of life forms that exist on earth. This includes the varieties in terms of ecosystem, and species and genetic changes.
This biodiversity is directly dependent on the region where there occurs a high amount of sunlight and precipitation. The factors such as latitude, climate, height, availability of resources are important for the growth and expansion of biodiversity. In these regions, the biogeochemical cycle also occurs rapidly, as the processes that are associated with it occur at a faster rate, thereby enhancing biodiversity.
Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
Answer:
The correct option is <em>B. Cholesterol is non-polar.</em>
Explanation:
Cholesterol is a non- polar substance and due to this property it is an active part of the cell membrane. Cholesterol molecules help to maintain the stability of a cell. When the temperatures are high, cholesterol stops the cell membrane from crystallization. When the temperatures are low, cholesterol reduces the packaging of molecules of phospholipids. As a result, fluid phase is archived by the cell membrane.
The common name of this organism is hydra.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Hydra is a fresh water organism and belongs to the phylum Cnidarian. They have tentacles around their body that enables locomotion as well as protection from prey. Hydra has the ability of regeneration and the asexual mode of reproduction in hydra is budding.
In the budding process, a small bud develops in the parent body and the bud after maturation gets detached from the parent body and grows into a new individual. Sexual mode of reproduction is also found in hydra.
