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

What is the restoring force in propagation of air particles?

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

Restoring force is a force which acts to bring a body to its equilibrium position. The restoring force is a function only of position of the mass or particle, and it is always directed back toward the equilibrium position. Therefore the restoring force of air particles should be displaced in the direction of the force and according to Newton 3rd law of motion, once the force is removed, restoring force of elasticity returns the displaced particle to a resting state .

2. In the citric acid cycle, malate is oxidized to oxaloacetate by the enzyme malate dehydrogenase, which uses NAD+ as an electr

atroni [7]

Answer:

NAD+ act both as coenzyme as well as electron acceptor compound and get reduced to NADH by accepting electron.

Explanation:

NAD+ act as co enzyme of various biological catalyst such as malate dehydrogenase, isocitrate dehydrogenase etc.

NAD+ can act as co enzyme only in its oxidized form but not in its reduced form called NADH.

Many reaction needs NAD+ to occur such as conversion of glyceraldehyde 3 phosphate to 1,3 bisphosphoglycerate, malate to oxaloacetate.

That"s why NAD+/NADH ratio is kept very high because if this ratio bychance get low then it will hamper the normal redox potential of NAD+/NADH.As a result many biochemical reaction will not take place.

The INDEPENDENT VARIABLE:

klemol [59]

Answer:

B. Is what the scientists manipulate in the experiment.

Explanation:

The Independent variable is not dependent, or doesn't rely, on another variable in the experiment. So, it would make the most sense that they would manipulate the Independent so that they can watch and see how the dependent variable reacts to the manipulation, or the change, in the independent variable.

in summer, what happens to the hurricane’s temperature, category, and speed as it travels across a body of water and then land?

IRISSAK [1]

I think it starts to get slower as soon as it starts traveling because then hurricanes wouldnt be as bad and would be long, and it could possible get worse as it travels across the water because it could be sucking up water so then it would get bigger and worse. The tempertaure will get colder because it will then start to pour and cause destruction and make it windy and very chilly.
