Which of the following characteristics would make an organism less likely to face extinction?

a) low reproductive rate
b) fixed migration patterns
c) diverse diet
d) commercially valuable and hunted for skin or fur

The correct answer is fixed migration pattern.

Extinction means termination of last member of a particular species. This can be due to various factors. The reason could be natural or human interventions. The best characteristics of an organism to be less likely to face extinction are the fixed migration pattern. Migration of that particular species in a fixed pattern will make them adapt different environment. This saves the species from natural extinction. Even if the species of a particular geographical area dies the migrated species will be alive to breed and save the species from extinction.

many other transport proteins, often called pumps, move materials against a concentration gradient. active transport drives molecules across a membrane from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration. this process, shown in figure 5.1, uses transport proteins powered by chemi- cal energy.
