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.

Why don't lipids dissolve in water? I know that they don't but I need to know why. I've tried looking it up but I can't find it
astra-53 [7]
Lipids don't dissolve in water because of the different polarities. Water is polar and lipids are not polar which is why they don't dissolve. What this means is that they don't bond and don't share electrons and therefore don't mix.

Why is recombinant dna also referred to as genetic engineering?
aev [14]
Recombinant DNA is DNA that has been created using intelligent design methods to modify a base DNA molecule using DNA component elements from other strands of DNA of other organisms. There are a wide range of possible DNA elements that can be removed, added to or otherwise modified to produce the new recombinant form.

Recombinant DNA technology clearly is genetic engineering using intelligent design as the selection and placement of the added DNA components must be planned and precisely selected and placed to accomplish the intended result. It does not happen naturalistically.

There are numerous aspects of the growing technology of recombinant DNA that modify DNA to serve the purpose of the intelligent designers, including wide ranges of research, medicine, synthetic biology, potential commercial products and even scientific curiosity.

The group names 1-8 on the periodic table
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Alkali metals (rarely 'Hydrogen and the alkali metals')

Alkaline earth metals (in old chemistry this name applied only to Ca and its congeners)

Icosagens (unofficial name; aka Boron group; rarely Earth metals)

Crystallogens (unofficial name; aka Carbon group; rarely Adamantogens[a] or Merylides[b])

Pnictogens

Chalcogens

Halogens

Noble gases (rarely Aerogens). The Group name may have to be changed to the “Helium group” since oganesson is not expected to be noble.
