  • Oceanic crust is denser and darker,it has Fe, Mg. It is thinner than continental crust and consists of denser rock. Regions underlain only by oceanic crust are well below sea level.
  • <em><u>Continental crust on the other hand has a composition similar to granite. Thin light gray layer, has the mineral compound Si. Regions with a higher elevation generally have thick crust .</u></em>
  • <em><u> Continental crust is less dense than oceanic crust, though it is considerably thicker; mostly 35 to 40 km compared to the average oceanic thickness of around 7-10 km</u></em>.

babymother [125]

Answer:

<em>Digested food is a source of potential energy</em>

Explanation:

When we digest food, the molecules of the food are broken down into smaller compounds. Chemical energy is released due to this process. Chemical energy can be used to form glucose and fat. These molecules store energy in them. When energy is required by the body, the glucose molecules can be converted into ATP and hence give energy. This energy can be used for various purposes such as it can be converted into mechanical energy for muscle movements.

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

The Precambrian represents the time period, right from the beginning of the earth to about 540 million years back. It is divided into 3 parts, namely the Hadean, the Archean and the Proterozoic. Throughout this geological time, vast changes have taken place on earth. The first life forms of about 3.8 billion years old, that existed on earth were the simple unicellular organisms, whose traces were only found at some particular places. These organisms were very small and are comprised of soft bodies, so they were affected by the earth's dynamic processes. The organisms in order to get fossilized must contain hard parts. Due to the presence of soft bodies, the organisms were not fossilized and so it took a long time to demarcate that the late Precambrian organisms were animal-like life.

hence, the correct answer is option (A).

What are check points and why are they important in the cell cycle
pentagon [3]
Hmm this is a rough explanations but because to be sure cells are made properly and not misfunctioning or going Rouge.

Cancer cells is an example of this, a cell goes rouge and starts doing it's function on it's own but outside of it's brother cells function slightly different turning into a growth or etc. The body thinks it is normal during the check body it's composed of the dna that passes this check.

viruses and other things don't pass this check and things like white blood cella come shut it down.

that's why doctors poison the area they find the cancer. to send white blood cells there to shut the area down not passing the check.
