Answer:

The Mantle and the Crust are different in many ways. The mantle if of course much bigger than the crust, and makes up about 84% of the total volume of the Earth. Also, the Mantle is about 200* C, compared to the 14*C crust. That is a very big difference! Finally, the Mantle controls plate tectonics on the crust, so while they are very different, they still work together.

Below the crust is the mantle, a dense, hot layer of semi-solid rock approximately 2,900 km thick. The mantle, which contains more iron, magnesium, and calcium than the crust, is hotter and denser because temperature and pressure inside the Earth increase with depth.

kykrilka [37]

Answer: One H⁺ ion ie required in converting ATP and inorganic phosphate to ATP

Explanation:During oxidative phosphorylation, high energy electrons released by hydrogen carriers are shuttled through the electron transport chain. The released energy is used to translocate 3 H+ ions from the matrix, creating an proton motive force, which will cause 1 H+ ion to move down the electrochemical gradient and diffuse back into the matrix (chemiosmosis) which is facilitated by ATP synthase. As the H+ moves through the ATP synthase this triggers the molecular rotation of the enzyme, synthesizing ATP

Hawk (predator)/lizard (prey). scorpion (predator)/insect (prey). if their is no relationship between these two then the scorpions will die off and the insects will thrive.
