The correct answer is option D, difficulty of redesigning workable ecosystems
Reason -
The area that was redesigned into an ecosystem actually failed to attract the endangered species of clapper rails in California because of the following two reasons –
a) Failed attempt of restoration of Cord grass ( a tree which is a dominant tree in the nesting habitat of clapper rail) . Even if few such trees were there they could not grow to their full height and thus were incapable of providing adequate nesting cover
b) Due to the lack of predatory insect, some herbivore insect in the ecosystem attacked the green grasses thereby making the nesting inadequate.
Answer:
As a cell grows bigger, its internal volume enlarges and the cell membrane expands. Unfortunately, the volume increases more rapidly than does the surface area, and so the relative amount of surface area available to pass materials to a unit volume of the cell steadily decreases.
Ribosomes although the mitochondria is similar its ribosomes.
Speciation is b. the process by which new species are formed. They are often caused by the isolation of certain organisms in terms of environment or geographical area. This is part of the evolutionary changes that various species undergo to brought about by natural selection.
