How does crystal size compare in extrusive vs. intrusive rock? Explain the cause of this difference

Biology
1 answer:
Ede4ka [16]3 years ago
5 0
The difference between extrusive and intrusive rocks are how they cool down. Extrusive rocks cool down quickly and are created by lava; because of this they have very small, fine-grained crystals. Intrusive rocks cool slowly beneath the surface of the earth and are created by magma; because the cooling process is very slow the rocks have very large crystals.

2. How has genetics, combined with<br> paleontology, added to our<br> understanding of evolution?
motikmotik

Answer:

To find the extinct species and their divergence of characters can be studied using molecular genetic techniques.

Explanation:

  • Paleontology is the study of ancient species and their remaining that were found millions of years ago. These species extinction can be found and manipulated to find out the origin or divergence of species from their origin
  • The samples of these species may contains their remains that help the biologist to isolate and analyze their protein or DNA. when the DNA is isolated their sequences can be generated using molecular biology techniques.
  • When the sequences are identified by advanced molecular biology techniques, the existence and similarities of different species due to their convergence or divergence can be identified.
  • By identifying the convergence or divergence the characteristics, evolutionary change in behavior, variation in appearance can be studied.
  • By using these techniques, biologist have found that <em>homo sapiens</em>  are 99% have their similarities with chimpanzee
  • Thus, using genetics in paleontology helps us to understand adaptation a species is changing according to the evolutionary changes.

Given what you know about the endosymbiotic theory, which region of the chloroplast below would you expect to be derived from th
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

Photosynthetic lamellae

Explanation:

The cyanobacteria were the first successful photosynthetic cells present on the Earth which were able to convert the light energy into the chemical energy.

The endosymbiosis theory suggested that these cyanobacteria were engulfed by the eukaryotes and the cyanobacteria get transformed into the chloroplast.  

The region of the chloroplast that was formed in the cyanobacteria before the endosymbiosis happened was the photosynthetic lamellae which contained the chlorophyll molecule and thus is the correct answer.

Thus, Photosynthetic lamellae are the correct answer.

In general, why might cell-wall inhibiting antimicrobial drugs be less effective on gram-negative bacteria compared to gram-posi
asambeis [7]

Cell-wall inhibiting antimicrobial drugs be less effective on gram-negative bacteria compared to gram-positive bacteria because the outer membrane of the gram-negative bacteria inhibits penetration of the drug and the peptidoglycan found in gram-positive bacteria is structurally different from that in gram-negative bacteria.  

Answer: Option B & C

<u>Explanation:</u>

Antimicrobial drugs are induced into a body to act on that particular selective bacterium which causes disease. When antimicrobial drugs are injected they act efficiently on the gram positive bacteria inhibiting the proliferation of the cells by acting on the cell wall so that cell multiplication doesn’t happen.

On the other hand it is hard to act on the gram-negative bacteria as it has a cell membrane that inhibits drug penetration into it. Both cell walls contain peptidoglycan but in the gram-positive is more assembled and layered while in the gram-negative it is just a thin layer. As gram-positive is thick layered it provides place for another molecule to attach to it but the thin layer in gram-negative inhibits it.
