In 2004, scientists announced the discovery of the fossil remains of some extremely short early humans on the Indonesian island

of Flores. The new species has been named Homo floresiensis. One hypothesis is that H. floresiensis evolved from Homo erectus, another early human species. How did a population of H. erectus become isolated on this remote island.

Answer: The most accepted guess is: By bamboo rafts.

Explanation:

There are two hypotheses.

The first is that they arrived on Flores as Homo erectus and then evolved to Homo floresiensis. The second is that they were already Homo floresiensis when they arrived. This second one is the more accepted hypothesis because it would take organization and language to accomplish this technological water transportation feat. Homo erectus is not known to have developed speech.

Now at the time this transport was estimated to have happened, 100000 years ago, the islands of Komodo and Flores were joined and visible from the mainland. Together they constituted a 19km wide straight visible that could be easily seen from the mainland. The Homo floresiensis tribes built bamboo rafts, or possibly some other floating apparatus made if wood, and sailed there. The islands then progressively drifted apart, isolating them.

PS: It is important to note that some things may have drove them there such as famine, violence, etc.

Assessing biodiversity:
Helen [10]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-A

Explanation:

Biodiversity refers to the diversity of the biological entities present in an ecosystem. Biodiversity has a wide spectrum which not only includes the number of the diversity of the organism but also the interaction between them.

The biodiversity is assessed to study the changes that are taking place in an ecosystem, to study the causes and how the changes affect the human well being.

The assessment decisions ignore the personal interests and the biasness as the aim of the approach is not fulfil the personal needs but to maintain sustainable management of the ecosystem.

Thus, option-A is the correct answer.

Energy is released to be used by a cell when a phosphate group is ?
Gekata [30.6K]

Energy is released to be used by a cell when a phosphate group is <u><em>Removed from ATP to form ADP.</em></u>

Answer: <em>C. Removed from ATP to form ADP </em>

Explanation:

Three important energy carrier molecules in a cell are: ATP (Adenosine triphosphate, NADPH (Nicotinamide Adenosine Dinucleotide Phosphate) and FADH2. All the three carrier molecules play an important role in cellular respiration and photosynthesis.

One NADH molecule is equal to 3 ATP molecule while 1 FADH2 molecule is equal to 2 ATP molecule. During the active process, ATP is used as a form of energy because ATP dephosphorylates to ADP and Inorganic phosphate, Pi and release energy.

C)
dybincka [34]

Answer:

Plants and trees are the primary sources of food for a food chain or a food web. If the population of the primary producers reduces than it affects the whole food web. If the deciduous trees are destroyed due to a fire, there will be less food available for the primary predators. As a result, competition will begin between them and their population will decline. Due to this, the population of other organisms which fed on the primary consumers will also decline.
