Answer:

The correct answer is a. Reduction in species diversity

Explanation:

In habitat fragmentation, the large area of forest is divided into many smaller patches which reduce the area of habitat for species live there. This Fragmentation of habitat occurs mainly due to human activities like making highways and roads in the area.

This separates species member from each other which reduces the gene flow between that which can lead to inbreeding depression in a species and extinction of species can occur.  

Cutting trees and human activities can alter the environment negatively which can cause extinction of some species that reduce species diversity. So the correct answer is a.

morpeh [17]

Answer:

NADPH

ribose 5-phosphate

G6P

Nonoxidative

glycolytic

Explanation:

  • The pentose phosphate pathway is a two‑stage pathway that generates NADPH which is a reductant in many biosynthetic reactions and takes part in detoxifying reactive oxygen species, and ribose 5-phosphate which is a nucleotide (DNA and RNA) precursor.
  • The substrate for the pentose phosphate pathway is G6P.
  • Nonoxidative the is the phase of the pentose phosphate pathway interconverts phosphorylated monosaccharides, some of which can feed into the glycolytic pathway.

What did rosenberg and trevathan discover in their study comparing human and nonhuman primate birth?
melamori03 [73]
When comparing the birth patterns of humans and non-human primate, Rosenberg and Trevathan discovered some very clear differences:

1. The human period of labour and child birth is exceptionally long and painful compared to other non-human primates.
E.g. a human labour can last anywhere from 10-20 hours while that of a chimpanzee lasts only 2 hours.

2. Humans have the ability to walk straight, the trade off however is that it is extremely difficult and painful to give birth to a big brained human baby.

Mosses, ferns, and lichens are primitive flowerless plants that usually reproduce by producing _______.
kondor19780726 [428]
Mosses, ferns, and lichens are bryophytes. They are non-vascular and non-flowering plant and have a thallus-like body. They reproduce by production f spores, inside the sporangia, and connceted to a base called as sporangiophore, which attaches it to the thallus.

Which freshwater source is a permanent shallow body of water with plant life throughout? lake pond reservoir wetland
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Pond

Explanation:

Ponds are inland water bodies that are usually smaller in surface area than a lake and nonflowing in contrast to rivers or streams. However, a pond is a shallow freshwater source that inhabits organisms' life (plants and animals alike).

Due to the shallow state of a pond, light penetrates to the bottom, hence, allowing the constant growth of plant life. Therefore, PONDS are freshwater sources that contains a permanent shallow body of water with plant life throughout.

A cell membrane is more flexible than a brick wall. Why might many cells benefit from a flexible cell membrane? and A building h
Fofino [41]

Answer:

plant: This Elodea leaf cell exemplifies a typical plant cell. It has a nucleus, and a stiff cell wall which gives the cell its box-like shape. The numerous green chloroplasts allow the cell to make its own food (by photosynthesis).

The central vacuole takes up most of the volume of the cell. It is transparent, but you can see where it's pressing the chloroplasts up against the cell wall, especially at the ends of the cell.

Like animal cells, the cytoplasm of this plant cell is bordered by a cell membrane. The membrane is so thin and transparent that you can't see it, but it is pressed against the inside of the cell wall.

animal :This human cheek cell is a good example of a typical animal cell. It has a prominent nucleus and a flexible cell membrane which gives the cell its irregular, soft-looking shape.

Like most eukaryotic cells, this cell is very large compared to prokaryotic cells. For scale, notice the pair of dark blue bacteria cells sticking to the right edge of the cheek cell. The bacteria are only a fraction of the size of the nucleus, but their tiny size is typical for bacteria.
