Hello,


Convection currents in the mantle and in the ocean are similar because they both are responsible for the shaping the Earth's surface. Two forces are behind the movement of Earth's huge land masses. Those forces are convection and gravity.


Convection describes the movement of gasses or liquids due to different temperatures. The convection currents just beneath Earth's crust flow very slowly, causing movement in the plates above them. These currents are different with the fact that they produce different plate movements. Ridge push occurs from the convection currents in the ocean. These occur at mid-ocean ridges, which are elevated higher than the rest of the ocean floor. In contrary, convection causes material in the mantle to flow. Due to combined action of convection currents and gravity, Earth's plates are in constant motion.

The correct option is B.

Harry Harlow was an American psychologist, who through his study proof that children need love and affection to develop normally. He demonstrated this by using rhesus monkey babies, who are taken away from their mothers immediately after birth. In place of their real mother, Harry provided two surrogate mothers instead and allow the monkey to chose any one they prefer. The first surrogate mother was made of wire and monkeys can get food from her while the second surrogate mother was made of soft terry cloth but the monkey can not get any food from her. Harry observed that the monkeys prefer to stay with their terry cloth mother, which provide comfort and security than with the one made of wire. The monkeys only go to the wire mother when they are hungry.

Answer: C. The red blood cells released water through osmosis. The release of water helped the blood cells keep a similar concentration of solutes as the outside solution.

Explanation:

Osmosis is a process whereby water molecules move from an area where they are in higher concentration than a solute to an area where they are in lower concentration. They do this by moving through a selectively-permeable membrane.

With sugar added to the solution, the water in the red blood cells will have a higher concentration of water in the cells than the solution so water molecules will move from the cell - through the cell membrane - to the solution. They will keep doing so till the concentration of solutes are more or less similar in both the cells and the solution.
