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.

Why the bass and crayfish benefit from an increased level of phosphate, initially, but then die off
omeli [17]

Answer:

Increased levels of phosphate are beneficial to phytoplankton and aquatic plants. In the short-run, this means increased micronutrients for herbivorous and omnivorous fish.

The phosphate, however, reacts with the water to reduce the oxygen levels obtainable in the water. Without oxygen, the fishes die off.

It is not unusual to find that with increased phosphate in water, healthy fishes begin to die off without any other plausible explanation.

The solution is to clean the water or treat it with solutions that impact positively whilst reducing the phosphate levels.

Cheers!

PLEASE HELP ME <br> What are the steps to photosynthesis
RoseWind [281]

Explanation:

During photosynthesis, molecules in leaves capture sunlight and energize electrons, which are then stored in the covalent bonds of carbohydrate molecules. That energy within those covalent bonds will be released when they are broken during cell respiration. How long lasting and stable are those covalent bonds? The energy extracted today by the burning of coal and petroleum products represents sunlight energy captured and stored by photosynthesis almost 200 million years ago.

Plants, algae, and a group of bacteria called cyanobacteria are the only organisms capable of performing photosynthesis. Because they use light to manufacture their own food, they are called photoautotrophs (“self-feeders using light”). Other organisms, such as animals, fungi, and most other bacteria, are termed heterotrophs (“other feeders”) because they must rely on the sugars produced by photosynthetic organisms for their energy needs. A third very interesting group of bacteria synthesize sugars, not by using sunlight’s energy, but by extracting energy from inorganic chemical compounds; hence, they are referred to as chemoautotrophs.

Mrs. Jones blood typing results showed agglutination with the plasma containing anti - B antibodies only. What is her blood type
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

Mrs Jones Blood type= B type.

Safe transfusion from: B and O blood type.

Explanation:

In the given example, the anti-B antibodies are present in the donor plasma.  Since anti-B antibodies react with B antigen present on the RBCs of blood, Mrs. Jones should have B antigen on the surface of her RBCs. The blood type with only B-antigen on the RBC's surface is blood type "B".  

Hence, her blood type is "B" type which has B antigens that react with anti B antibodies of the donor plasma causing agglutination and hemolysis of RBCs.  

She can get the blood of B and O blood types. Blood type O is a universal blood type as it does not have B or A antigens on the surface of its RBCs to initiate the agglutination.
