Biology

Earth's crust are pushing against each other miles below the Earth's surface, causing earthquakes, volcanoes and the movement of the continents. Approximately 30 plates are mapped out throughout the world. The plates consist of the Earth's crust and of the mantle, which is a thick layer of hot rock. Below that lies a sea of magma.


Hope this helps

Ridge push or sliding plate force is a proposed driving force for plate motion in plate tectonics that occurs at mid-ocean ridges as the result of the rigid lithosphere sliding down the hot, raised asthenosphere below mid-ocean ridges.The name comes from earlier models of plate tectonics in which ridge push was primarily ascribed to upwelling magma at mid-ocean ridges pushing or wedging the plates apart.

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

Yes, I think this scheme can work. The chippings will provide enough ethanol to power the mower. The mover requires up to 15% ethanol. As he is distilling it to 95% ethanol, it would be more than enough for the mower to work. And also he can use the remaining ethanol for other purposes like powering Joe’s car or to create alcoholic beverages to drink when Joe’s friends come over to watch UCLA football games on Saturday afternoons.

Why are vitamins important to enzymes and what this relationship is called?
xxMikexx [17]

The activity of some enzymes requires vitamins. This is because vitamin derivatives contribute to the biochemical mechanisms of these enzymes. These vitamin derivatives belong to a class of molecules known as cofactors, which are organic molecules (called coenzymes) or metallic ions, that assist in the catalytic activity of an enzyme.

agonists generally _______ activity at the synapse while antagonists generally ______ activity at the synapse.
ki77a [65]

Agonists activate the receptor thereby <u>increasing</u> activity at the synapse while antagonists generally prevent agonists from activating the receptors thereby <u>decreasing</u> activity at the synapse.

  • An agonist is the component that has the ability to increase the activity carried out by another substance.

  • The agonists work from their faculty of coupling to a cell-type receptor, in this way, they manage to generate a certain action in the cell.

  • The antagonists are the compounds that cause the opposite when they bind to the receptor, they cause a blockade by decreasing the activation of a synaptic receptor.

Therefore, we can conclude that agonists are compounds capable of increasing the action of synapse and blockers (antagonists) decrease activity at the synapse.
