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.

Which end of an earthworm contains an organ that can detect smells?
NNADVOKAT [17]
<span>The anterior end of an earthworm contains an organ that detects smells. Evidence of this is the way the earthworms responded to the ammonia. The earthworms backed away from the ammonia when it was waved near their anterior end, but they did not respond at all when the ammonia was waved near their posterior end.</span>

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

a. Only the DNA of β cells contains the gene for insulin; only the DNA of chief cells contains the gene for pepsinogen

Explanation:

As stated in the question above, insulin production is exclusive to β cells in the pancreas. This is because only these cells have a gene that manages the production and excretion of insulin within an organism. Similarly, only the main cells of the stomach have the capacity to produce pepsinogen, which indicates that the gene responsible for managing this production is unique to these cells.

3. deference between diffusion and osmosis​
pashok25 [27]
Osmosis only talks about water molecules

Diffusion talks everything other then the water molecules.

So,
Osmosis : water molecules travel from a region of a higher water potential to a region of lower water potential through a partially permeable membrane via osmosis

Diffusion : Travels from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration through a partially permeable membrane via diffusion

Papessa [141]

Answer:

My pretest behaviors were triggered by the sympathetic nervous system, while my body returned to its normal state by the way of the parasympathetic nervous system, after the test.

Explanation:

The sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system are part of the autonomic nervous system. The main function of the autonomic nervous system is to regulate the heart, kidneys, and liver which are not under voluntary control. The regulation of the body’s unconscious actions is executed through the sympathetic and the parasympathetic nervous system.

Upon exposure to stressors or threats, the sympathetic nervous system is triggered. Epinephrine and norepinephrine are then released, causing acceleration of the heart, constriction of blood vessels, increase in blood pressure, profuse sweating and other related responses against stress. The sympathetic nervous system controls all these involuntary responses that could be termed “fight-flight-or-freeze” response.

On the other hand, the parasympathetic nervous system initiates what is termed “rest and digest” response, which occurs immediately after the “fight-flight-or-freeze” phase response to stress is over. The body is returned to its normal state by the parasympathetic nervous system. The parasympathetic nervous system releases acetylcholine, which regulates the function of the body during a period of rest or recuperation.
