sometimes tectonic plates shift past each other in divergent directions at their boundary

<h3>What is a tectonic plate?</h3>

A tectonic plate or lithospheric plate is a massive, irregularly shaped  solid rock composed of both continental and oceanic lithosphere.

The Plate size can vary greatly that is from a few hundred to thousands of kilometers across the Pacific and Antarctic Plates and the Plate thickness also varies greatly.

Continental crust is made up of granitic rocks which contain relatively lightweight minerals such as quartz and feldspar where as  oceanic crust is made up of basaltic rocks, which are much denser and heavier.

Most of the boundaries between the plates is not seen, because they are hidden beneath the oceans and oceanic plate boundaries can be mapped accurately.

How do photosynthesis and cellular respiration interact to cycle matter through an ecosystem
Lisa [10]

Explanation:

Photosynthesis captures carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and converts it to biomass. This is why forests are referred to as great carbon sinks because they remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and incorporate it in the biosphere.

Cellular respiration, on the other hand, converts the carbon captured in the biosphere into carbon dioxide that is released into the atmosphere. Cellular respiration usually 'burns' glucose into carbon dioxide.

These two processes work antagonistically and cycle carbon matter through the biosphere and atmosphere.

insens350 [35]

Answer: Option A) the Golgi bodies and their vesicles.

The most likely explanation for the bad taste of meat that has "freezer burn" from repeated freezing is the destruction of the Golgi bodies and their vesicles.

Explanation:

Since the Golgi bodies serves as sacs for synthesis, packaging and distribution of materials in the cell, the long sharp crystals of ice will spear through the cell membrane, and then through the Golgi bodies and their vesicles.

This would cause them to spill their contents into the cytoplasm alongside the forceful withdrawal of fluids from the vesicles of Golgi bodies for freezing.

Thus, destruction of Golgi bodies and their vesicles most likely explain the bad taste of meat
