Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

The new sea floor are formed along the mid-oceanic ridge, in a divergent plate tectonic setting where two plates move in the opposite direction. The convection current that forms in the mantle forces the magma of basaltic composition to rise up and results in the formation of cracks through which the magma erupt at the seafloor. These magma are deposited along this mid-oceanic ridge where the new materials are added and the rocks formed in and around this ridge are the youngest rocks.

Thus, the source of this magma is the mantle.

Hence, the correct answer is option (D).

A student investigates the effect of temperature on gas production in yeast. The student uses this apparatus to count the number
tigry1 [53]

The effect of temperature on gas production in yeast;

As the temperature gets higher, the yeast will produce more carbon dioxide, until at some point carbon dioxide production will decrease, that is when the yeast cells have become denatured due to the increase in tempmoreerature.

<h3>An experiment to show the effect of temperature on gas production in yeast.</h3><h3 />

If temperatures affect the growth of yeast and the amount of carbon dioxide gas produced then when the yeast is placed for instance in 75 degrees, the carbon dioxide levels will be than the carbon dioxide levels at room temperature (69 degrees), and 40 degrees, because heat activates the enzyme molecules to move faster

Yeast at an optimal temperature to produce the same amount of CO2 as yeast below or above it. ... Enzymes involved in yeast cell metabolism start to denature above-optimal temperatures, resulting in a decrease in both metabolic rate and CO2 production.
