The correct answer is C, the theory of plate tectonics.
Plate tectonics is a scientific theory that describes the movement of the seven large plates and several smaller plates of the Earth's upper layer (the Lithosphere). This theory is based on the theory of the continental drift, developed by Alfred Wegener in 1912.

Briefly differentiate "White Matter" & "Grey Matter".
evablogger [386]

Answer:

The CNS, or central nervous system is comprised of neurons, the cell units that form it. These cells, in turn, are formed by their cell bodies, the dendrites on them and the terminal ends of the axons, which are like the connectors, or roadways, for neurons. When viewed on a microscope, brain tissue, particularly, looks stained with two different colors: grey, or pinkisk, for the grey matter, and whiter for the white matter, which are the axons. This is basically why the two are called grey matter and white matter of the CNS.

So one difference between these two matters is the color they display when viewed. The second is the parts of the neuron that form the two; while the white matter is formed from the neuronal axons, the grey matter is formed by the dendrites, cell bodies and axonal terminals. A third differentiation is that most synaptic activity takes place in the grey matter, while most conduction of information from the cell bodies is performed by the axons.

  • The temporalis muscle embeds on the coronoid procedure of the mandible, with certain strands embeddings further down on the ventral edge of the masseteric fossa.  
  • The parallel pterygoid muscle embeds on the average surface of the mandibular condyle.  
  • The average pterygoid muscle embeds on the average and caudal surfaces of the rakish procedure of the mandible.  
  • The temporalis muscle is an enormous fan-molded muscle that begins on the transient bone of the skull and embeds on the coronoid procedure of the mandible.
  • Hence, the right answer is option c " temporal fossa, coronoid process of mandible"

ASAP!!!!! what is “flow of matter through a food web??”
Debora [2.8K]
When one organism eats another, the matter, or carbon, nitrogen, and other essential elements, are transferred from one to the other. These elements move from the producers, to the consumers, and eventually to the decomposers, cycling the matter through the ecosystem.

hope this helps ! :)
