The key lesson learned from what has happened on the Easter Island is that the humans should live in balance with the nature and to use the natural resources responsibly. The Easter Island was inhabited by people until relatively recently, and they lived on the island for some time, but there's nothing left from them apart from numerous large heads made out of stone. The people that lived on the island died, and that happened because of their irresponsible way of using the natural resources and destroying the environment. The people that lived on the Easter Island managed to use and destroy all natural resources that were enabling their survival there, putting themselves in a situation where they didn't had anything to eat, nor having material to build boats and move on another place. They were tuck there, isolated, started to kill and eat each other until the last one of them was left and died. This is a very nice example and lesson for the humans in the present that they should be very careful with the nature and the natural resources because there's always a line that after it is crossed there's no coming back.

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

In this picture the ground is now completely covered in vegetation and trees are growing back all along the road and sides of the picture. Then there’s little flowers and grass and bushed all over the place. In the other pictures the ground was bare, with the second and third pictures having bushes and other little vegetation starting to grow. Changes in the Biotic Factors: There are now larger trees, there is grass, flowers, small bushes, and other small vegetation growing. Changes in Abiotic Factors: The ground is no longer dust and ash, The dead trunks and branches are covered in vegetation for the most part and are decomposing.

The ____________ functions as a gateway through which chemicals and small particles, such as ____________ enter or leave the cel
Vilka [71]

Answer: cell membrane

such as water, micro-organism

physical process

simple diffusion, osmosis and filtration

such as potasssium permaganate in water,urea a liver waste diffuses from the body and the kidney help in filtering it out

physiological processs

active transport, phagocytosis and pinocytosis

such as soduim-potassium pump, exocytosis

Explanation:  transportation in and out of cell is done in different ways listed above but a barrier to this movement is the cell membrane which is an outer covering of the cell. it protect the cell and only some materials can penetrate the cell membrane e.g micro-organism, water e.t.c. the various physical and physiological processes are the various ways substance  cna be liquid, solid or gas are transported within or outside the  cell e.g food

Nostrana [21]

Answer: The DNA on the paternal copy of the chromosome will be methylated at the imprinting center, while the DNA on the maternal copy of the chromosome will not be methylated in this region.

Explanation:

Chromosomes are DNA structures associated with proteins such as histones. They are found in the nucleus of cells and contain genetic information for the development and functioning of an organism. Human beings are diploid, meaning that they possess two copies of each of the 23 chromosomes (a total of 46).

Gametes, which are sex cells such as the sperm (produced by the male) and the egg (produced by the female) that are haploid. This means that they possess only one chromosome of each pair. During fertilization, a male gamete fuses with a female gamete to generate a zygote, which will give rise to a new human being. <u>This new individual will possess half of the genetic material from its father and half from its mother. Thus having a total of 46 chromosomes, 23 from each parent</u>.

Genetic imprinting modulates gene expression by chemical modification of DNA and/or modification of chromatin structure. Often, genetic imprinting causes a gene to be expressed only on the chromosome inherited from one of the parents. One example of imprinting is DNA methylation, which is a process by which methyl groups are added to DNA. <u>Methylation modifies DNA function when found in the promoter gene, repressing gene transcription. This means that a methylated gene will not be expressed</u>, that is, it will not produce a protein encoded by that gene. So, if a region of DNA is imprinted in the sperm cell, the paternal chromosome inherited from this sperm will be methylated in the genes of the offspring. And the offspring will only express the maternal copy inherited, which will not be methylated.
