Earth's _____ outer core is _____ than its inner core.

Biology
1 answer:
jarptica [38.1K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

D

Explanation:

In general, the inner core of the earth is hotter than the outer core, even though the outer core is liquid and the inner core solid. The temperatures at the outer core range between 4000 – 5000 degrees centigrade while that of the inner core is about 5200 degrees centigrade. It is nonetheless important to note that the discontinuity between the two cores is actually the hottest region at about 6000 degrees. The inner core is solid (as compared to the liquid outer core) due to the enormous pressure at this region due to the weight of the overlying layers. This region experiences a pressure of approximately 3.6 million atmospheres (atm) keeping the iron from melting even though the temperature is way above the melting point of the metal.

What molecules that allows plants to tell how bright light is and which direction it comes from?
morpeh [17]
Auxin is the molecule which is related to the phototropism of the plants. In the mutant plants, which do not have hormone auxin, do not respond to light. It activates proton pump, and leads to the decrease in the pH of the leaf. This acidification breaks cell wall structure and cell wall become less rigid, and thus, can bend towards the light, by exerting mechanical pressure.

Similarities between seemingly unrelated organisms can be explained by Darwin s theory that organisms come from common ancestors
svetoff [14.1K]

The Darwin's theory of evolution states that the organisms evolve through the process of the natural selection of the favorable genetic variations gradually over time. Through this process of the evolution, new species are developed over time. A single population may give rise to different species. These newly evolved species share similarities will each other as they have the same ancestor.

Hence, the given statement is 'true'.

Why do you think weather scientists use percentages instead of saying “it will definitely rain today”?
grigory [225]

Answer:

Right now, I am in college for climatology, but before I decided on climatology, I was taking classes in Meteorology, the study of weather. So, I will answer your question. All meteorologists like to be right, but since the weather is so spontaneous, it is really hard to be right. Meteorologists use percentages because it helps them be professional. Also, because, different parts of the region where they are may or may not get the rain. I don't know where you are from, but I will use my hometown. In McAlester, Oklahoma, there may be a 70% chance of rain, but in another part of the region at Tulsa, Oklahoma ( which is 91 miles north of McAlester) there may be a 40% chance of rain. The difference in the percentages can vary from how stable the environment is, altitude, location, and terrain. That is two of the reasons why Meteorologists use percentages to predict weather.

Once absorbed the majority of glucose is transported to
ycow [4]

Answer: Liver

Glucose is the most important fuel source for the body, specifically the brain. It is absorbed through the mucosal lining into the epithelial cells of the intestine by active transport via sodium-dependent hexose transporter. From the epithelial cells, glucose is moved into the surrounding capillaries by facilitated diffusion into the liver. Once in the liver, glucose is stored as glycogen.
