Answer:

The correct answer would be oxygen and carbon dioxide.

The main function of Red Blood Cells (RBCs) or erythrocytes is to transport oxygen from the lungs to all cells of the body. In addition, it transports carbon dioxide from cells to the lungs from where it is exhaled out.

RBCs contain iron containing biomolecule termed as hemoglobin. It can bind to oxygen as well as carbon dioxide in a reversible manner. It depends upon the partial pressure of the gases in a cell.

For example, at the alveolar site, the partial pressure of oxygen is high which increases the efficiency of hemoglobin towards oxygen. Oxygen then binds with hemoglobin in a reversible manner to form oxyhemoglobin.

At the cellular site, the partial pressure of carbon dioxide is higher as compared to that of oxygen. Consequently, oxygen is released and hemoglobin binds with carbon dioxide to form carbamino-hemoglobin.

Which plate boundaries and movements most commonly create earthquakes? Explain how earthquakes can be created by plate tectonics
ser-zykov [4K]
1. Divergent Plate Boundaries or Constructive Plate Boundaries. This is where two plates separate. Ridges are created when mantle convection rises up beneath it, with extreme heat, the crust will thin, and the igneous material beneath will eventually. 

<span>2. Divergent, or destructive plate margins cause volcanoes. As the more dense plate subducts, it will melt at depth and the water driven off, will lower the melting point of the overlying mantle wedge, this will create a type of magma. Volcanic Island Arcs are formed at oceanic-oceanic destructive plate margins. The hot, bouyant magma, is less dense that the surrounding rock, so will rise to the surface, and will collect beneath the plate that hasn't been subducted. It will then, under increased pressure erupt under the sea. Over thousands to millions of years, it will keep erupting, to form islands. </span>

<span>3. Earthquakes are mainly caused at Transform boundaries and Divergent boundaries. At transform boundaries, two plates sliding past eachother, and the build up of friction could lead to earthquakes, if enough stress is built up and then suddenly released, then the energy is released as seismic waves or an earthquake. At divergent boundaries, earthquakes happen along the Benioff zone which is the slope of the subducting plate that is slowly being dragged into the mantle by mantle convection and slab pull. </span>

<span>4. Divergent boundaries cause orogenisis (mountain building). But only the continental-continental margin where two continental plates are colliding. Because they are the same density, they don't subduct, but they buckle, compress and uplift to form mountains. Just like the himilayas, when the Indian plate collided with the eurasian plate.</span>

if the number of births in a population is greater than the number of deaths what would you expect to see in terms of population
Lilit [14]
The population would increase drastically and we would run out of resources for food. then the birth rates would eventually equal out to number of death rates . we then wouldnt have anyone alive

Explanation:

Mass number of an atom is also called atomic mass of an atom which is some what expressed in Dalton i.e 1/2. The mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons altogether called nucleons in an atomic nucleus.
