Answer:

Appalachian: A. Two continents colliding.

North American Cordillera: B. Terrane accretion

Aleutian plate: D. Oceanic convergence

Andes Mountain range: C. An oceanic plate and continental plate colliding.

Explanation:

Appalachian Mountains formed as a result of collision of two continental plate’s i.e North Africa & America. These two plates crashed into each other and then separated later on.  

In the accretion process, land mass start depositing over each other for a certain period of time to forma a large mountain. The North America Cordillera formed through this subsequent deposition after the initial collision between the Pacific and the North American plates

Aleutian plate were formed when one plate (oceanic) slide below the other plate (continental)

Andes were also formed by the collision between an oceanic plate and a continental plate where the oceanic plate sub ducts below the continental plate.

Appalachian: A. Two continents colliding.


The Appalachian mountain range is an ancient example of a collision between two continental plates. Both plates have low density and little subduction occurs between them.


North American Cordillera: B. Terrane accretion


These form when two continents that collided bonded so tight that it forms a permanent land mass. If the continents would pull away from each other, the terrane stays intact.


Aleutian plate: D. Oceanic convergence


This is a type of convergence where one plate subducts beneath another plate. Between the two, the older plate is usually the one that subducts because it is usually more dense.


Andes mountain range: C. An oceanic plate and continental plate colliding.


In the collision between an oceanic and continental plate, the thinner and more dense oceanic plate subducts under the continental plate. The Andes mountain range was formed by the subduction of the Nazca Plate beneath the South american Plate.

The endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus are both membrane-bound organelles found in eukaryotic cells. Which statement desc
snow_lady [41]

<span><span>The ER assembles proteins, and the golgi body modifies and packages them.


</span>ER Golgi apparatus, because it packages proteins received from the ER cytoplasm </span>

<span>The Golgi body are the ones that slightly alter, organize and prepare so-called parcels to be delivered for all the organelles in the cell. They receive these packages mainly in the rough endoplasmic reticulum. These packages that set out by Golgi body are macromolecules that used and synthesized by cells in many operations. If ER is absent then it would only mean that Golgi body would have no use other than simply lysosomes but these macromolecules plays a dynamic role in many organelles –nutrients, ATP and cell metabolism. It'll have a ripple effect if ER is absent in the cell.<span>

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!
Lynna [10]

By understanding DNA and gene expression, humans have been able to understand how genetic diseases are caused, therefore they have been able to devise gene therapy and other technologies to treat such disease. Second, the understanding has also allowed humans to devise plants that are resistant to pests and drought hence increasing crop yields.

A negative aspect of this understanding is the issue of bioterrorism. In the wrong hands, this technology can be used against society. The technology can be used to modify organisms to make them deliberately harmful to humans. Second is the issue of bioethics. This technology can be used to enhance humans and result to an ‘arms race’ between human races that can tear down the social fabric.
