Why is the world's loss of biodiversity a source of concern?

Biology
1 answer:
Vlad1618 [11]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

a) Humans depend upon other organisms for food and oxygen

Explanation:

Biodiversity refers to the richness in the species of organisms on Earth i.e the variety of biological organisms on the Earth. The importance of biodiversity cannot be overemphasized because of our dependence on the sustainability of biodiversity in our ecosystems.

The loss of biodiversity, which is becoming rampant by the day, is a major concern to us because we humans depend upon other organisms for food and oxygen. Humans are strictly heterotrophic and hence are reliant on variety of organisms for food. Plants also release oxygen gas via their photosynthetic process, which is key to our survival as a population.

How do the chromosomes in most cells of an organism, such as the leaf cells of a plant, compare to the chromosomes in its reprod
Lunna [17]

Answer:

Reproductive cells have half the amount of chromosomes than body cells

Explanation:

I think that you are talking about body cells when you say "most cells in an organism." If that is the case, then the reproductive cells, sperm and egg cells, have half the amount of chromosome than body cells.

For example: Human body cells have 46 chromosomes. Human reproductive cells has 23 chromosomes.

In sexual reproduction, each parent gives 1/2 of a full set of chromosomes to create the full set needed for an organism.

Which of the cell types shown helps determine capillary permeability?
alexira [117]

The correct answer to this is:

“Astrocytes”

Astrocytes also called star cells due to their shape are the most abundant glial cells in the brain. Extensions from these cells encase capillaries and offer extra control over which materials enter or leave the intercellular fluid of the CNS thus acting like a permeability membrane.

A polypeptide in a wild type microbe contains the sequence Leu-Pro-Tyr-Ser-Pro. A phenotypic variant of the species has the pept
Katen [24]

Answer:

The mentioned case is an illustration of the missense mutation. A missense mutation is a kind of nonsynonymous substitution, that is, it is a mutation in which a variation in a solitary nucleotide leads to the formation of a codon, which encrypts for a distinct kind of amino acid.  

When a missense mutation takes place within a DNA, a modification in one of the RNA codon sequences results at the time of transcription. This change in codon will ultimately result in the formation of a different amino acid, which gets presented within a protein at the time of translation. Like in the given case, a change in codon resulted in the substitution of the amino acid tyrosine with an amino acid cysteine.
