Introduction:
Biodiversity hotspot is a biogeographic area where the species number is getting low. The conservation of these hotspots is necessary to save these species from extinction. There are about 25 hotspot area around where about

Answer to Problem 1U
Correct answer:
Conservation hotspot is best described as areas with large numbers of endemic species, in many of which species are disappearing rapidly. Therefore, option a. is correct.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for the correct statement:
The conservation hotspot is necessary to protect the species from extinction from their natural habitat. There are about 25 hotspot area are present to protect the endemic species.
Option a. is given as “areas with large numbers of endemic species, in many of which species are disappearing rapidly”.
As, “the conservation hotspots are those areas where the species number is getting low” is the right answer.
Hence, option a. is correct.
Reasons for the incorrect statements:
Option b. is given as “areas where people are particularly active supporters of biological diversity”.
Conservation hotspot is necessary to conserve the endemic species that are rapidly lost. It is not the area where people are particularly active supporters of biological diversity. So, it is a wrong answer.
Option c. is given as “islands that are experiencing high rates of extinction”.
The conservation hotspot are not best described in terms of islands that are experiencing high rates of extinction. So, it is a wrong answer.
Option d. is given as “areas where native species are being replaced with introduced species”.
The conservation hotspots are necessary to conserve the native species of the original area. So, it is a wrong answer.
Hence, options b., c., and d. are incorrect.
Conservation hotspot is described as to protect the endemic species of particular area which are disappearing quickly.

- ✓ Details Draw a protein that is embedded in a membrane (a transmembrane protein), label the lipid bilayer and the protein. Identify the areas of the lipid bilayer that are hydrophobic and hydrophilic. Draw a membrane with two transporters: a proton pump transporter that uses ATP to generate a proton gradient, and a second transporter that moves glucose by secondary active transport (cartoon-like is ok). It will be important to show protons moving in the correct direction, and that the transporter that is powered by secondary active transport is logically related to the proton pump.arrow_forwarddrawing chemical structure of ATP. please draw in and label whats asked.
