The oceanic crust is denser than the continental crust.
Also, the oceanic crust consists mostly of basalt.
What is the oceanic crust made of?
The topmost layer of the tectonic plates' oceanic part is called the oceanic crust. It is made up of two oceanic crusts: the upper crust, which contains pillow lavas, and the bottom crust, which is made up of troctolite, and ultramafic cumulates. The crust sits on top of the hard mantle's topmost layer.
Dark-colored rocks named basalt and gabbro make up the majority of the marine crust. It is lighter-colored rocks called andesite and granite that make up the continental crust, which is thinner and denser. Because of its low density, continental crust "floats" high above the viscous mantle, generating dry land. It develops as magma rises to fill the space between divergent tectonic plates and is consumed in subduction zones.

Answer:
thermodynamically unstable but kinetically stable.
Explanation:
The complete question is as follows:
Under physiological conditions, peptide bond formation and degradation both require enzymes, but only formation requires coupling to GTP hydrolysis. Based on this information, peptide bonds under physiological conditions are:
A. both thermodynamically and kinetically stable.
B.thermodynamically unstable but kinetically stable.
C.thermodynamically stable but kinetically unstable.
D. both thermodynamically and kinetically unstable.
- The term thermodynamically unstable refers to the fact that the peptide bonds are prone to breakage under physiological conditions.
- The reason why one can conclude the thermodynamic instability of the peptide bonds under physiological condition is that there is a need for a source of energy i.e. GTP hydrolysis for the formation of the peptide bond.
- The fact that the breakage of peptide does not require any input of energy but the only formation does confirms the fact that under physiological conditions they are thermodynamically unstable.
- Even though they are thermodynamically unstable, they are kinetically stable because both the formation and degradation require enzymes.
- The function of enzymes is to decrease the activation energy and hence, increase the rate of reaction. This means that if the enzymes are absent the rate of breakage of peptide bonds would be really slow this points out to the fact that they are kinetically stable under physiological conditions.
Answer:
(1) It is known as a prosthetic group as heme consist of a protoporphyrin ring and a central iron atom. A prosthetic group is a specific non-polypeptide unit which is required for some protein's biological function.
(2) Coenzyme.
(3) It is known as an example of a cofactor as it is not a permanent part of the enzyme.
(4) It is known as a prosthetic group as it is permanently attached to the enzyme.
(5) Coenzyme-A.
(6) Cofactor.
(7) Cofactor.
I believe the answer to 11 is that multicellular organisms are made up of multiple cells and unicellular organisms are made up of one cell.
