how do current levels of plant and animal biodiversity on easter island compare with past biodiversity levels

Biology
1 answer:
-BARSIC- [3]3 years ago
7 0

Answer and Explanation:

Easter Island, a small island of around 64 square miles, has been a mystery for many scientists who study the changes on the past and current biodiversity abundance. According to research, this island used to be extremely diverse in species of fauna and flora, especially the latter. However, it is now composed of few species of invertebrates and little to almost no vegetation. This occured <u>due to the first colonizers</u> who rapidly deforested the region.

Research suggests that, apart from this deforestation, which caused the decline of wildlife species that depended on shrubs and palm trees, Polynesian colonisers introduced the Polynesian rat, which consumed almost all of the trees that were present in the island, leading to the absence of their regeneration.

Ras is a GTP-binding protein involved in cell proliferation (division). In its active form, with GTP bound, Ras activates cell s
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

E. They decrease the rate at which Ras hydrolyzes GTP.

Explanation:

Activated Ras has GTP bound to it, this propagates an intracellular signal to the nucleus where cell proliferation is induced. Thereafter proliferation is switched off by the hydrolysis of the bound GTP to GDP.

Therefore decreasing the rate of GTP hydrolysis causes Ras to remain active, ultimately leading to uncontrollable proliferation characteristic of cancer.

Vikki [24]

The right answer is C.invention

Contact lenses are placed directly on the surface of the eye to correct your eyesight.

They can correct myopia and hyperopia. They can also correct age-related astigmatism and hyperopia (presbyopia).

Their principle is the same as for glasses: they bend the light and redirect it to your retina to improve your eyesight.
