Mid-ocean ridges are segmented and contain which two basic types of plate boundaries linked together?

1 answer:

7 0

Mid ocean ridges occur where two tectonic plates diverge or move away from each other. This separation occurs under the ocean.The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is such an example and is where the North and South American plates pull away from the Eurasian and African plates. Mid ocean ridges are usually a combination of divergent and transform plate boundaries. At transform boundaries plates slide past each other in opposite directions.

Explanation:

Amylase is a digestive enzyme secreted and is responsible for breaking down <u>starch.</u>

Digestion describes the intake, chemical and physical breakdown, absorption of nutrients and excretion of food. Alpha amylase, an enzyme produced in the pancreas, is found in human saliva; it catalyzes the breakdown of starch into glucose

Further Explanation:

Food is chemically and mechanically broken down into into smaller particles. This begins in the mouth, where food is mechanically crushed by the teeth, and mixed with saliva to allow water based enzymes like lingual lipase and amylase to work;- it's then transported to the stomach via the esophagus.

Alpha amylase, an enzyme produced in the pancreas, is also found in human saliva; it catalyzes the hydrolysis, or breakdown of starch into glucose in the stomach as gastric amylase. Amylase acts on polysaccharides bonds at random points along the chain by splitting the α 1-4 glycosidic bonds.

Which group in kingdom protista is responsible for the annual florida red tide?

Illusion [34]

Answer:

Dinoflagellates

Explanation:

Protists are unicellular eukaryotes and dinoflagellates is a protist that is responsible for causing annual Florida red tides. When a large amount of dinoflagellates accumulates in the ocean they make the sea color red which is also called an algal bloom.

They also secrete a toxin that kills lots of aquatic animals. They are also toxic to other creatures like birds, humans. They come together to reproduce in a definite area therefore they accumulate together in large amounts causing red tides annually. Therefore the correct answer is dinoflagellates.
