Why are forest considered biodiversity hotspots ?

Biology
1 answer:
olga2289 [7]3 years ago
7 0

First of all, what is a hotspot?

A hotspot, is a place with a hotter temperature in relation to its surroundings.

So, when we think of "biodiversity hotspot", what exactly does that mean?

It's a place with a higher biodiversity in relation to its surroundings, but also with more concentration of species.


So, that's why forests are considered a biodiversity hotspot. If you want some visual content, try finding a geographical map of Africa. In some desert regions you'll see green spots (some really big). These are forests. The interesting thing about them, is when you search their biodiversity, you'll see what a biodiversity hotspot looks like

2. While looking at a cell under a microscope, a scientist is able to see a biological molecule. This molecule is a nucleic acid
I am Lyosha [343]

The correct answer is A

The scientist can determine that this nucleic acid is a DNA molecule, because it contains Thymine, which does not occure in the RNA molecule. The RNA molecule contains Adenine, Guanine and Cytosine just like the DNA, but unlike the DNA it contains Uracil, not Thymine.

Secondly, the scientist can say with certainty that this DNA molecule is surrounded by a nucleus based on the structure of the nucleic acid described. Only eukaryotic cells have ladder structure. The prokaryotic cells have circular DNA and do not have any organelles, like the nucleus. Therefore, from the ladder structure of the DNA the scientist can see that the cell has a nucleus.

What passes through a cell using passive transport?
Tanzania [10]
Passive transport is a movement ofbiochemicals and other atomic or molecularsubstances across cell membranes without need of energy input. Unlike active transport, it does not require an input of cellular energy because it is instead driven by the tendency of the system to grow in entropy. The rate of passive transport depends on thepermeability of the cell membrane, which, in turn, depends on the organization and characteristics of the membrane lipids andproteins. The four main kinds of passive transport are simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, filtration and osmosis.
