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

How do oxygen and carbon dioxide cross capillary walls?
muminat
The answer is diffusion.

The most important mechanism that enables oxygen and carbon dioxide (but as well other small molecules such as glucose, amino acids, wastes) across capillary walls is diffusion. Diffusion is a net movement of molecules through some barrier from an area of high concentration to the area of low concentration. When blood rich in oxygen reaches capillaries close to the cell, now there <span>is </span>more oxygen in the capillaries than in the cells and by diffusion, oxygen will pass capillary walls and enter the cell. Since blood in capillaries lacks in carbon dioxide, it will easily leave the cells and enter the blood. It should be taken into consideration that capillary walls may be fenestrated, continuous, and discontinuous which can affect movement through them.

Pick the statement that is false.
trapecia [35]

Answer:

An Oc mutation on the bacterial chromosome can affect the expression of structural genes on a F plasmid.

Explanation:

An Oc mutation is a mutation in which operator of an operon is constitutively active i.e. repressor fails to bind the operator which leads to unregulated gene expression.  

An Oc mutation do not affect the expression of structural genes on F plasmid because <u>an operator is a cis regulatory element and therefore it can only affect the genes which are located on the same DNA</u>. F plasmid genes are located on the plasmid not on the main chromosome of the prokaryotes while tryptophan or lac operon system is in the main chromosome that is why an Oc mutation will not impact genes on plasmid.
