goblinko [34]
We explain this puzzle-piece-like build as proof of tectonic plate shifting. As magma inside the earth moves, so do the continental plates on top of the magma. The continents used to be fused together in one larger continent called Pangea. Over the course of 1000s of years, the plates have shifted.

tldr: tectonic plate movements cause this phenomena

While testing for biological macromolecules in an unknown, you find that it reacts strongly with iodine and the solution immedia
True [87]

The macromolecule must be starch.

Explanation:

Starch is a polymer of Glucose joined by glycosydic bond.

Starch is the main energy storage substance in green plants.

Starches react with iodine and give a bluish black or black color and thus iodine test is considered as a confirmatory test for starches.

In this experiment ,the solution turns very dark black on addition of iodine so we can be sure that the solution contained starch.

Which of the following statements concerning complex multicellular organisms is true?- Plants and animals use bulk transport sys
Minchanka [31]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The true statement concerning complex multi-cellular organism is Bulk transport systems move substances faster than simple diffusion.</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

<em>Bulk transport</em> is the mechanism that is used by the cells to transport the large quantity of small and tiny molecules and particles. Bulk transport works on the <em>mechanism of pressure gradient and single diffusion</em> is based on the concentration gradient.

The<em> transportation on single diffusion</em> is due to random motion of molecules but in bulk transport the solute and water is moved <em>together and in a faster pace. </em>
