Where are subduction zones likely to form?

Biology

Answer:

Option D, Between converging oceanic and continental plates

Explanation:

Subduction zones/boundaries are formed in the regions in which one tectonic plate slips below the other tectonic plates. These tectonic plates could be a pair of oceanic/continental plates or one oceanic and one continental plate.

In a converging process, two tectonic plates move towards each other until they collide thereby causing slipping of one plate below the other. While in a diverging process, the two tectonic plates move away from each other and hence there is no chance of formation of subduction zone.

Thus, option D is correct.

B. Between converging oceanic and continental plates

Subduction happens when a tectonic plate slides under another one.For this to occur, the two plates have to be converging towards each other.

Answer:

<em>1. The characteristic thing about </em><em>adult frog breathing</em><em> is that </em><em>drawing in air by lowering their mouth floor</em><em> (option d).</em>

<em>2. The substance released by the </em><em>lung secretory cells </em><em>is the </em><em>surfactant </em><em>(option c).</em>

<em>3. The main divisions of the </em><em>peripheral nervous system</em><em> are the </em><em>somatic and autonomic systems</em><em>.</em>

Explanation:

<h3>1. Breathing of the adult frog</h3>

The adult frog - while out of the water - uses a nasal breath, propelling air into its throat and oral cavity. The air content in the frog's mouth causes the internal pressure of the cavity to increase, and the floor of the mouth is modified to allow the passage of air to the lungs.

Under water, the frog's breath is cutaneous, that is, through its skin.

Adult frogs do not have gills or respiratory muscles.

<h3 /><h3>2. Pulmonary surfactant </h3>

Pulmonary surfactant is a substance produced and secreted by the pulmonary epithelium, specifically by type II pneumonocytes. The function of the surfactant is to keep the pulmonary alveoli open to allow gas exchange.

The surfactant is a substance of a lipidic and proteic nature that helps reduce the surface tension of the water, which in the socket prevents closure when the air is exhaled.

Another function is to prevent the germs - viruses and bacteria - present in the air from passing from the alveolus to the bloodstream.

<h3 /><h3>3. Divisions of the peripheral nervous system</h3>

The peripheral nervous system is dependent on the central nervous system and is made up of all the nerves that go to each of the tissues and organs of the body. It is divided into somatic and autonomic nervous systems.

  1. <u>Somatic nervous system</u> is composed of nerves that drive nerve impulses to skeletal muscles, being predominantly voluntary. The involuntary response in this system is due to the existence of reflex arcs, whose center of integration is the spinal cord.
  2. <u>Autonomic nervous system</u> is responsible for the innervation of coughs the internal organs, allowing their function under the coordination of the central nervous system. It is an involuntary system and is subdivided into sympathetic and parasympathetic systems.

The integration of both systems, somatic and autonomic, allows a body to perform all its functions, including the function of relationship, alertness and maintenance of organic homeostasis.
