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

Which of the following is true about natural selection? ​
Anna007 [38]

The options for this question are:

- Requires genetic variation

- Results in descent with modification

- Involves differential reproductive success

- All of the above

Answer:

<u><em>The correct option is d) All of the above</em></u>

Explanation:

The theory of natural selection explains that genetic variations occur in organisms of a species. Those organisms which are better adapted to live in an environment are able to survive and pass on their characteristics to their offsprings, hence descent with modification. Through this phenomenon, evolution takes place with the passage of time. Natural selection favours survival of the fittest. Hence, all of the above statements are true.

Arrange the sequence of events for the overall mitochondrial respiratory assembly in the correct order.
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

Option D, 4,2,1, 3

Explanation:

The mitochondrial respiratory chain (MRC) comprises of four membrane bound complexes and it involves the following steps

a) RC complexes (RCC) I and II reduces the RC’s equivalent where RCCI i.e receives electron from the NADH.  

b) These electrons are then transferred to the flavin mononucleotide factor and then passed on to the Fe-S embedded cluster .

c) These electron reduces the coenzyme Q  to ubiquinol  

d) With in the inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM), protons are trans located from IMM to the  intermembrane space (IMS)

e) RC complex II then transfer electron from succinate to the cofactor FAD

f) From FAD proton are transferred to the FeS cluster and on the other hand electron move from QH2 to the RC complex III

g) This RC complex III give its electrons to the cytochrome and they are further passes on to the RC complex IV

h) With four redox centers, the terminal RC complex translocate protein by using energy produced in electron transfer thereby converting oxygen into water.

Hence, the correct option is D
