Answer:

This theory is useful to understand volcanic activity, seisms, mountains creation and others earth's dynamics

Explanation:

Using this theory, geologists have explained a lot of questions about the Earth; we have unterstood, for example why continents have forms that seem to be part of a big puzzle, and the reconstructed the Earth's history based on plates movements, their actual movements velocities and directions.

Also we understand now origin of volcanoes, origin of seisms and how did mountains form and why do we find marine fossils on the top of the Everest. This allow us to study that kind of geological hazards and like this we can prepare a little to avoid natural disasters.

Answer:

White blood cells can be called the strong defender of our body from foreign substances. These cells are responsible for increasing the immunity power of a person.

Explanation:

Monocytes cells are also called white blood cells. These cells play a role an antigen that fight with outer danger and protect other white blood cells as well and prepare other cells to reduce the dead blood cells and renovate new blood cells.

These cells prevent cancer cells and fight against foreign antigens or particles. The Monocytes are the cells that develop in the bone marrow of a person and develop red blood cells.

In white blood cells, some macrophages cells are called the scavengers in the bone marrow that eat foreign particles and increase the immunity power of the person. The diagnose can be done with the help of blood testing.

During embryonic development, the vertebral column is replaced by the notochord.
Reptile [31]

Hello! The answer is false.

It is actually the opposite. The notochord is a primitive axial skeleton, and in humans, it disappears. It eventually becomes part of the vertebral column, which is the backbone that we have today.

Hope this helps!

Answer:  Burping (also known as "belching" or "eructation") is one way the human body expels excess gas in your digestive system. It occurs when your stomach fills with air, which can be caused by swallowing food and liquids. Drinking carbonated beverages, such as soda, is known to increase burping because its bubbles have tiny amounts of carbon dioxide in them.

As an avid soda drinker and statistics student, you notice you tend to burp more after drinking root beer than you do after drinking cola. You decide to determine whether there is a difference between the number of burps while drinking a root beer and while drinking a cola. To determine this, you select 20 students at random from high school, have each drink both types of beverages, and record the number of burps. You randomize which beverage each participant drinks first by flipping a coin. Both beverages contain 12 fluid ounces.

John has repeatedly been taking a painkiller for his back pain. one day, his doctor instead gives him a different pill, which co
Kisachek [45]

Answer: Placebo effect

John is experiencing placebo effect where the pill that contains no pain killing medication has given pain relief to John. A placebo is a substance with no therapeutic effect but sometimes improves patient’s condition. This is due to patient’s expectation that the pill they take can help or ease the pain they have even if no active ingredient is present.

Therefore, the effect is more than positive thinking or believing that a treatment will work by creating a stronger connection between the brain and body as they work together.

What does she need from the food she ate and the air she breathes so that she can go on her run? How do Rosa's body systems work
IgorC [24]

The missing part of the question is as follows:

Rosa eats a peanut butter sandwich for lunch. Peanut butter contains a lot of protein, and bread is mostly starch. Rosa plans to go for a run later this afternoon. Rosa is breathing normally.

Answer:

1. The food she ate is peanut butter and bread, the peanut is rich in protein while the bread is rich in carbohydrate which provides sugar (glucose) by breathing she gets oxygen in a sufficient amount to perform cellular respiration (aerobic) to carry out energy for running. Carbohydrates are a better choice of nutrients befors exercise as carbohydrates provide energy immediately.

Aerobic respiration provides a high amount of energy, 36 ATP to be specific, per cycle of cellular respiration.

2.  The carbohydrates (glucose) and oxygen she gets from food and breathing react together to perform aerobic cellular respiration to carry out maximum energy. By the digestive system and organs of this system, carbohydrates are broken down into glucose which is diffused into the blood.

Oxygen also diffused to blood from the lungs and heart with the help of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems of her body.

3. By the aerobic cellular respiration process takes place in the mitochondria of the cell helps in providing energy from glucose and oxygen by a three-step process:

Glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. Here glucose reacts with oxygen. Which ultimately provide 36 ATP molecules for the cell in a run.
