The correct answer is option A, that is, development often causes habitat fragmentation, which can threaten biodiversity.

Fragmentation is usually illustrated as a reduction in some of all the kinds of natural habitats in a landscape, and the differentiation of a landscape into smaller and more isolated segments. With the development of the fragmentation process, the ecological influences will modify.  

Fragmentation can be a result of natural procedures like floods, fires, and volcanic activity, but it is more generally caused due to human activities like an increase in the number of roads, housing developments, shopping centers, and parking lots.  

With the enhancement in human activities, the effect of fragmentation become more. Eventually, it results in the devastating influences on the local species, a complete modification to the landscape, and the loss of the region's wilderness heritage.

what is meant by an atp cycle and why is it important, frequent event in cells? how does this involve adp
polet [3.4K]

ATPs are the power cell of a cell. Just like a cell, they need to be charged before they can deliver power.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

ATP or the Adenosine Triphosphate is a complex molecule containing a Adenine nitrogen base, a ribose sugar and three phosphates being attached with each other in a chain. Adenosine Triphosphate is the power currency of a cell. It just acts like a rechargeable battery. The metabolic and physiological processes of a cell that needs energy, involves the hydrolysis of ATP into ADP and Pi which are Adenosine Diphosphate and Inorganic phosphate respectively.

Now the ATP is discharged and needs to be charged. So the ADPs are charged into ATPs by different processes of respiration  like Glycolysis, Kreb's Cycle, Electron Transport Chain etc.

Both the hydrolysis and the condensation of ATP makes the ATP cycle.
