Question #2
Zoological parks and botanical gardens are examples of:
A. Ex-situ conservation
B. In-situ conservation
C. Biodiversity hotspots
D. Ecological succession

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Ex-situ (off-site) conservation involves protecting endangered species outside their natural habitats. Zoological parks, botanical gardens, seed banks, and cryopreservation facilities are examples of ex-situ conservation. This method allows for controlled breeding, research, and education, and can be a last resort for species whose natural habitats are severely degraded or destroyed.

Question #3
The molecule that is the final electron acceptor in the mitochondrial electron transport chain is:
A. NAD⁺
B. FAD
C. Oxygen
D. Cytochrome c

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Molecular oxygen (O₂) accepts electrons at the end of the electron transport chain, combining with protons to form water (metabolic water). Without oxygen, the chain backs up, stopping ATP production. This is why oxygen is vital for aerobic respiration. NAD⁺ and FAD are electron carriers, cytochrome c a component.
