Protein is required for the growth and maintenance of tissues.
Enzymes are proteins that allow chemical reactions to take place within your body.
Amino acid chains of various lengths form protein and peptides which make up several of your body’s hormones and transmit information between your cells, tissues and organs.
A class is proteins known as fibrous proteins provide various parts of your body with structure, strength and elasticity.
Proteins act as a buffer system, helping your body maintain proper pH values of the blood and other bodily fluids.
Proteins in your blood maintain the fluid balance between your blood and the surrounding tissues.
Proteins form antibodies to protect your body from foreign invaders, such as disease-causing bacteria and viruses.

FromTheMoon [43]

Options for the question have not been provided. They are as follows:

A) The single intact parcel would have a smaller amount of edge than the 20 separate parcels.

B) The isolated hectare plots increase the ability of individuals to disperse from one habitat to another.

C) The separate 1-hectare plots are less vulnerable to edge effects.

D) The large plot will create more inbreeding in many species.

Answer:

A) The single intact parcel would have a smaller amount of edge than the 20 separate parcels.

Explanation:

In the given case, 20 hectares of land has been allocated to natural habitat. This means that natural flora and fauna will flourish here without any human interference. In this situation it is better to have an intact 20 hectares area at one side of the land, rather than having 20 separately spread out 1 hectare areas. This is because having one large piece of land at one side will reduce the edge effect.

Edges occur where two different habitats meet. While edges can be beneficial when it comes to natural habitats because the boundary habitat increases overall biodiversity, it can be detrimental when the edges are due to human settlements. It will be difficult to avoid human interference as the natural habitats are scattered among human settlements. Each individual plot will also get less area due to which it will be difficult for all the species to accommodate comfortably. Many animals can venture out in search of food which can be dangerous to both animals and humans. It is better to have a big separate land at one corner so that everyone can survive peacefully.
