The statement which geologists assume is true is that plates are denser than the oceanic crust.

 A section of lithosphere which slowly moves over the asthenosphere, carrying pieces of continental and oceanic crust.
Seafloor spreading is termed as the process by which molten material adds new oceanic crust to the floor of oceans. A divergent boundary is where plates move away from each other by forming rift valleys or oceanic ridges.

The diagram shows a simple lipid.
Evgesh-ka [11]

The correct answer is option A, that is, saturated.

The mentioned lipid is not a phospholipid, as it does not comprise a phosphate group at the terminal of the chain, and is not a triglyceride due to the absence of glycerol moiety.

Each carbon combined with the hydrogens forms the maximum number of possible C-H bonds, thus, there are no multiple bonds between the carbons. Hence, it can be concluded that the lipid is saturated.

after the brain receives information from the body's sensory receptors, what is the next step in responding to this information?
Bumek [7]

The sensory receptors refer to the portions of the nervous system, which sense variations in the external or internal surroundings. The sensory input can be in various forms, comprising taste, pressure, light, sound, pH of blood, or levels of hormones, which are transformed into a signal and are transmitted to the brain or spinal cord.  

In the sensory centers of the brain, the barrage of information is integrated and a response is produced. The response, that is, a motor output refers to a signal conducted towards organs via motor neurons, which then transforms the signal into some kind of action, like changes in heart rate, movement, discharge of hormones, and others.

Are bats the only mammal that can fly? BQ: are there flying reptiles
GREYUIT [131]
Yes, they ate the only mammals which could fly because flying squirrels, possums or etc. could only glide for a short distance and time, unlike bats. There are no reptiles who could fly, but there are reptiles who could glide which I think is completely different. But they said that Pterosaur existed which they believed it is a flying reptile dinosaur. Just look it up. :)
