D) The Earth was hit by a one or more objects from space 65 million years ago. The iridium layer shows an extraterrestrial cause for the extinction at the Cretaceous Tertiary boundary, discovered by the Alvarez family. The first discovery of this layer was in the Bavarian alps, in Lattengebirge. The Alverez family proposed that the extinction of the dinosaurs was due to a large meteor hitting the Earth at the end of the Cretaceous period, marking the KT boundary with this clay layer which has a high content of iridium. Iridium is not common on Earth, but is common in meteors.
Mitosis (also known as cellular division) is just copying of cells. So the answer would be 18.If the question were about meiosis (sexual division), then the answer would be 9, because that would make 4 daughter cells, each encompassing half the original number of chromosomes (18).
Answer:
The sugar molecules in the marshmallow are being changed into carbon. Sugar can be changed into water molecules. When you toast marshmallows, the heat causes a chemical reaction producing water molecules which then evaporate, leaving the carbon behind.
Explanation:
Answer:
Explanation:
The human ear is the organ for hearing. It converts sound waves into electrical impulses through which the brain processes to facilitate our hearing.
The ossicles inside the ear amplify sound waves they collect from the environment and transmits them into the inner ear.
Once in the inner ear, they are converted into electrical signals the brain can easily understand and discern.
Answer:
B- Most of the glucose 6-phosphate enters the pentose phosphate pathway.
Explanation:
Since the cell requires much more ribose 5- phosphate than NADPH, then it would lead the glucose 6-phosphate down the oxidative phosphate pathway to create ribulose 5-phosphate, which can be isomerized to ribose 5-phosphate depending on the cell state.
