Scientists learn about the layers deep within the Earth's crust by studying how seismic waves travel through the Earth. If there is an earthquake somewhere, seismagraphs in many locations will record it.

Answer: the relative differences in arrival times of the S and P seismic waves at several recording stations tell scientists about the different speeds those waves were traveling at, which in turn gives information about the density of the material the layer is made of, and how thick the layer is in several directions.

Animal cells have plasma membrane while plant cells have cell wall and cell membrane. A plant cell has 1 large vacuole while an animal cell has more than 1 vacuole which is smaller compared to the vacuoles of a plant cell. The vacuole of a plant cell is hypertonic because it takes up to 90% of the cells volume. A plant cell has chlorophyll or chloroplasts (which gives colors to plants), animal cells does not have chloroplasts. Cell division is also called mitosis (this term is used for both animal and plant cells, no difference on that). For plant cells, centrifugal division occurs, its starts in the middle going outwards creating the cell plate. For animal cells, division is centripetal that it comes from the outside going toward the center and that is called the cleavage furrow.

Exposure to teratogens after organogenesis is complete may most likely result in select one:

Ivenika [448]

The teratogens can be defined as any physical, chemical, or infections agents that have the ability to penetrate the protective layers of the embryo, and affect its viability. The overall development and the development of the different organ systems might be affected because of these teratogens. When the embryo is exposed to the teratogens after the organogenesis is complete, it is most likely that the fetus will suffer from the stunted growth. When the organogenesis is complete, the organs are already formed, and hence, no severe damage can occur to them. Down's syndrome will result if the chromosomal abnormality occur in the fetus, which is not likely after the organogenesis is already complete. Any kind of severe anatomical defects are also least likely after organogenesis is completed. Therefore, the chances of having stunted growth are high.
