Sharp lateral Moho variations across the SE Tibetan margin and their implications for plateau growth

Biology
1 answer:
ElenaW [278]2 years ago
8 0

The Moho beneath the Tibetan Plateau is significantly deeper than that beneath the neighboring Yangtze Craton and Indochina block.

Sudden Moho fluctuations are also observed over the southeastern plateau boundary, much like those under the eastern plateau margin. Interpret the severe Moho fluctuations over the plateau boundary as having formed during the late Miocene Tibetan Plateau extrusion southeastward. The steep Moho slope was preserved, although subsequent gravity collapse brought crustal extension and mild topographic variation.

The surrounding geosciences are particularly interested in the tectonic uplift of the Tibetan Plateau. A common paradigm for interpreting the geodynamic mechanism on the Tibetan Plateau's edge is mid-lower crustal flow. Due to the varied strengths of ding blocks, the model predicts different surface and Moho topographies across the plateau boundary, i.e., abrupt boundaries on the eastern plateau boundary and mild fluctuations in the southeastern plateau boundary.

Given the findings in the passage, which additional result most strongly indicates that the TGFBR1 and TGFBR2 receptors regulate
zysi [14]

Answer: Option B.

Explanation:

The first experiment of the passage shows that treatment with TGFBR1 and TGFBR2 antagonists led to lower levels of epithelial cell production. For this conclusion to be strongly valid, we want to show a positive correlation between TGFBR activity and epithelial proliferation.

Why are biologists concerned about ecosystem disruption? (EXTRA POINTS)
vladimir1956 [14]
Ecosystem is a living system, where living organisms interacts with their environment and among each other. 

Due to some hazardous processes like, Global warming, Green-house effect, increasing pollution, ecosystem is degrading. 

We live in our Ecosystem, if it will get destroyed, our existence would be impossible. So, in order to save ourselves, we need to save it.
That's why biologists, concerned about ecosystem disruption

Plants use carbohydrates to build things such as cellulose. How do plants acquire these building blocks to build mass?
AlekseyPX

Answer:

Photosynthetic process

Explanation:

Cellulose, a tough, fibrous and water-insoluble polysaccharide in the cell walls of plants. It is the most abundant organic macromolecule on Earth and also the main component of a plants structure, conferring rigidity on the plants' cells.

Cellulose chains are arranged in microfibrils or bundles of polysaccharides arranged in fibrils which in turn make up the plant cell wall.

All plants are made up of polysaccharides, a very large sugar molecule made of hundreds or thousands of single sugar units (monosaccharide). Cellulose is composed of a long chain of at least 500 glucose molecules joined together by B-1,4- linkages.

Green plants create this simple sugar molecules (glucose) on their own through the process of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the chemical combination or fixation of C02 and water by the utilization of energy from the absorption of visible light. This glucose produced is a building carbohydrate that combines with other sugars to form the plant structure (as they make up part of cellulose) and store energy.
