When two plates form a subduction zone, which plate will subduct

Biology
1 answer:
Lemur [1.5K]4 years ago
6 0

The denser plate

Explanation:

When two plates forms a subduction zone, the denser plate will subduct and dive into the underlying mantle below.

Subduction zone occurs along a convergent margin when two plates of different densities collides.

  • When two plates of different densities collides, the denser plates subduct.
  • This is because the density of the mantle below is less than its own density.
  • Most times, oceanic plates usually subduct during plate convergence.
  • Oceanic plates are denser compared to continental plates.

Is the movement of water along the concentration gradient
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

<em>- Is the movement of water along the concentration gradient: </em><em>Osmosis</em><em>. </em>

<em>- Is the use of energy to move the particles against the concentration gradient: </em><em>Active transport</em><em>. </em>

<em>- Is the movement of particles by diffusion without energy: </em><em>Simple diffusion</em><em>. </em>

<em>- Is the movement of particles along the concentration gradient: </em><em>Passive transport</em><em>.</em>

Explanation:

The mechanisms of cellular transport involve all the processes that the cell carries out to incorporate substances into its interior or send them to the extracellular space, through its semipermeable cell membrane.

<h3>- Osmosis</h3>

Is a type of transport that consists of the passage of water from a space with a lower concentration of solutes to one with a higher concentration, in order to reach equilibrium, following a concentration gradient.

The concentration gradient is given by the difference in concentration between two substances, which indicates the direction in which molecules, such as water, should move from one place to another.

<h3>- Active transport</h3>

Unlike passive transport mechanisms, which depend on a concentration gradient that determines the movement of particles, in active transport there are two characteristics that define it:

The passage of substances into the cell against a concentration gradient.

The use of energy to carry out this process.

In this case, the passage of substances through the cell membrane will be according to the requirements of the cell, or when they cannot pass through the membrane.

<h3>- Simple diffusion</h3>

According to the characteristics of the cell membrane, some substances can pass freely through it while others require special mechanisms. When a molecule is able to pass through the membrane without the use of special mechanisms or energy we speak of simple diffusion.

In a cell membrane, whose composition is by hydrophobic or non-polar lipid molecules, simple diffusion allows the passage of non-polar molecules, gases and alcohol.

<h3>- Passive transport</h3>

Refers to the mechanism of entry and exit of substances from the cell that does not require the use of energy.

The mechanisms involved in the passive transport of the cell are simple diffusion, osmosis, facilitated diffusion - which requires special conveyors or channels - and ultrafiltration, which depends on hydrostatic pressure. Examples of substances using this mechanism are lipid molecules, water and electrolytes.

A potential negative health effect of stress is _______
Minchanka [31]

Correct option a) Increased plasma volume.

A potential negative health effect of stress is Shrinks the brain. Stress that's the left unchecked can contribute to many health problem, such as high blood pressure , heart disease , obesity and diabetes.

The volume of the brain tends to remain about the same, it has been found that chronic stress in healthy individuals can causes areas of the brain associated with emotions , metabolism and memory of that individual to be shrink slowly.

Stress can also be positive which is distress , getting job promotion or being given grater responsibilities keeping us alert and ready to avoid danger. It can became negative if a person faces continuous challenges without relief or relaxation between challenges.

Drag the labels from the left to the correct locations in the table to contrast r- and K-selection.
Mandarinka [93]
I don’t see any labels, but remember that humans are a great example of a k-selected species. High rates of parental care leads to high survivorship of offspring, and thus negates the need to have large amounts of offspring.

R-selected species are quite the opposite. They produce large amounts of offspring at many intervals in an attempt to maximize survivorship, as they don’t have strong parental involvement with their young. Think of insects.
