The correct answer to this question is this one: a.) bottleneck effect. Increased poaching nearly led to the extinction of the American bison. The kind of effect that does this example represent is called the bottleneck effect. Hope this helps answer your question.
Answer:Recall that the glycolytic pathway generates NADH in the cytosol in the oxidation of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, and NAD+ must be regenerated for glycolysis to continue. How is cytosolic NADH reoxidized under aerobic conditions? NADH cannot simply pass into mitochondria for oxidation by the respiratory chain, because the inner mitochondrial membrane is impermeable to NADH and NAD+. The solution is that electrons from NADH, rather than NADH itself, are carried across the mitochondrial membrane. One of several means of introducing electrons from NADH into the electron transport chain is the glycerol 3-phosphate shuttle (Figure 18.37). The first step in this shuttle is the transfer of a pair of electrons from NADH to dihydroxyacetone phosphate, a glycolytic intermediate, to form glycerol 3-phosphate.This reaction is catalyzed by a glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase in the cytosol. Glycerol 3-phosphate is reoxidized to dihydroxyacetone phosphate on the outer surface of the inner mitochondrial membrane by a membrane-bound isozyme of glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase. An electron pair from glycerol 3-phosphate is transferred to a FAD prosthetic group in this enzyme to form FADH2. This reaction also regenerates dihydroxyacetone phosphate.
Explanation:
Proteins help with acting as structural components in the body, speeding up chemical reactions, and transporting substances around the body. Proteins are made up of amino acids, which create enzymes. Enzymes are often affected by environmental factors in the body such as concentration, temperature, and pH.
Proteins are very important for DNA and RNA. (ribonucleic acid)

Steroids have a number of different functions but essentially all act as hormones in the body.
