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

Hydrolysis of which molecule is important for translation initiation, elongation, and termination?
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

D. GTP

Explanation:

Initiation of protein synthesis includes binding of mRNA to small ribosome subunit and initiation aminoacyl tRNA. The pairing of the anticodon of the initiating aminoacyl tRNA and initiation codon of mRNA requires GTP hydrolysis and marks the beginning of protein synthesis.  

Elongation stage of protein synthesis requires movement of the ribosome along the mRNA which in turn is facilitated by GTP hydrolysis. As the ribosome moves along the mRNA, the codon of mRNA bind to the respective anticodon of aminoacyl tRNA by using the energy of GTP hydrolysis. The GTPase activity of elongation factor Ef-Tu ensures the fidelity of the process.  

The release factors that recognize the stop codon and serve to mark the termination of protein synthesis use the energy of GTP hydrolysis during the process.
