Oceanic crust or a less solid piece of oceanic crust will subduct beneath continental crust. Earthquakes occur when the oceanic plate subducts into a trench. Volcanoes are created by the melting of mantle material.

<h3>What does oceanic crust mean?</h3>

The outermost part of the Earth's lithosphere, known as oceanic crust, is created at spreading centres on oceanic ridges that are found at divergent plate boundaries and is found beneath the oceans. The oceanic crust is roughly 4 miles (6 km) thick. Even without the sediment on top, it is made up of many layers.

<h3>What is a characteristic of oceanic crust?</h3>

Compared to continental crust, oceanic crust is both thinner and denser. This is because to the oceans' weight, which has compacted it beneath it. It is also much more recent than continental crust, typically existing within the last 200 million years.

Which of the following statements regarding proteoglycans is FALSE? Proteoglycans help tissues resist mechanical compression. Pr
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

 Proteoglycans are a major component of compact connective tissues but are relatively unimportant in watery tissues such as the jellylike substance in the interior of the eye.

Explanation:

these are protein that is divided into two classes which are  called large ans small Proteoglycans.

The large proteoglycans has a large number of highly sulfated glycosaminoglycan side-chains that tends to hold water and whereby making the tendon to resist compression while the  small proteoglycans are known to have a relationship with collagen fibrils which are known to regulate collagen fibril diameters. they help in signal regulation  usually  from the angle of intracellular compartments. the are known great for their large diversity especially in terms of different cores and different numbers of GAGs with different lengths and composition.

When translating secretory or membrane proteins, ribosomes are directed to the ERmembrane byA) a specific characteristic of the
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

B) a signal-recognition particle that brings ribosomes to a receptor protein in the ER membrane.

Explanation:

Each synthesized protein has to be targeted to the specific location and transported to that location. There are two possible ways for that transport: post-translational transport or co-translational transport.

• Co-translational transport occurs during the process of translation, and proteins transported this way are proteins bound for organelles in the endomembrane system (such as the ER, Golgi apparatus, and lysosome), plasma membrane proteins or proteins for the exterior of the cell. They have an amino sequence called a signal peptide which sends them to ER first.

• Proteins that do not have a signal peptide stay in the cytosol so, their transport is after the translation (post-translational).
