The complete statement made by Stephen Hawking is: "though much of its behaviour through out history, has been pretty stupid, and not calculated to aid the survival of the species."

If one looks at our history, there are some events that defy our capacity for logical thinking. One would think that, as we possess this capacity, we would be able to direct our decisions towards the survival of the human species.

However, in many cases greed and the desire for personal gain have taken precedence. One good example was the burning of the great library of Alexandria, one of the most significant libraries in the ancient world. This magnificent collection was lost during the siege of Alexandria, when Julius Caesar set on fire the ships in the harbor.

Another example is the atomic bomb, when science has been used to invent one of the most destructive weapons known to us. Atomic warfare is still a threat that may end all life on Earth.

Furthermore, the greed of some corporations has led to multiple ecological catastrophes that endanger not only other species but our own future as well. One example is the Bhopal gas leak in India, where in 1984, due to poor maintenance, the chemical plant released 30 metric tons of methyl isocyanite into the atmosphere.

Hi

Hawking stated in one of his speech that <u>"Human race, even though much of its behaviour through out history, has been pretty stupid, and not calculated to aid the survival of the species."</u>

  • What does that mean?

Hawking was simply implying towards the fact that all the intelligence and glory, a man is blessed with is not being utilized in the way it should be. This was because human conscious is still not awake to realize that his most of the efforts should be spent on enhancing the human race instead of destroying it.

For example: we see that from centuries humans are destroying our planet by creating green house effect, global warming, environmental pollution and many other such issues. They are not only staking the life and habitats of other organisms at risk but also their own.

We have created atomic and nuclear weapons to threat and destroy same specie. God had bestowed men with huge potential to enhance his survival but Hawking realize that human race is being stupid and not utilized this potential in its true essence.

hope it help!

Answer:

The correct answer will be option- Generalist species would be abundant in the biome.

Explanation:

A generalist species is the species that can survive in the wide variety of different resources and the environmental conditions.

The generalist species would be found in the higher number in biome which experiences large seasonal fluctuations with varying precipitation and temperature. The generalist species would be abundant because they can survive the changing environment, change in the conditions and wide range of food.

Describe the importance of the inner membranes separating different regions of the mitochondrion and the chloroplast.
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

The thylakoid membrane is responsible for separation of different regions of the mitochondrion and the chloroplast.

This membrane is responsible for the major difference between chloroplasts and mitochondria in terms of their structure and function.

The membrane is very important in chloroplasts and it fills the role of the inner mitochondrial membrane in electron transport and the chemiosmotic generation of ATP.

What would be the advantage(s) to having no chloroplasts in the cells of the spongy mesophyll?
Gwar [14]
Well, first off the spongy mesophyll does have some chloroplasts, however they are located quite far from the surface of the leaf where most of the chloroplasts are. Therefore they don't get much light and don't contribute a lot to photosynthesis in the leaf. So why should the leaf waste the energy in making chloroplasts if there is not enough light to make them all efficient enough at photosynthesis?
