Answer: Asthenosphere.

The rising hot rock comes in contact with cold rocks near the surface of Earth where it gives off its heat, cools, and sinks again. Most of the rock in the mantle moves in this broad cyclic flow, indicated by the arrows in the figure. This zone, where rock is soft enough to flow, is called the asthenosphere.

Explanation:

The asthenosphere is the highly viscous, mechanically weak and ductile region of the upper mantle of the Earth. It lies below the lithosphere, at depths between approximately 80 and 200 km below the surface.

The asthenosphere is a layer (zone) of Earth's mantle lying beneath the lithosphere. It is a layer of solid rock that has so much pressure and heat the rocks can flow like a liquid.

The asthenosphere is also known as the "low velocity" zone of the mantle because seismic waves slow down as they pass through it. This property tells us that the asthenosphere is composed of partially molten rock slush like material consisting of solid particles with liquid occupying spaces in between.

Answer: Metric System

Explanation: The metric system is a more logical way of explaining measurements because it uses base ten to go up or down in the scale of measurement. This makes it more efficient and reasonable, on top of being easier to learn.

A scientist injected some cells with a drug that blocked glycolysis after NADH was formed, but before ATP and pyruvate were form
Stels [109]

Answer:

The cell could not make ATP.

Explanation:

Glycolysis may be defined as the process in which a glucose molecule is broken down into the two molecules of the pyruvate. Pyruvate is used to produce energy through various pathways that depends upon the availability of the oxygen. However when the glycolysis in blocked and the pyruvate is not formed, then the cells would not be able to use either the fermentation or aerobic respiration or the perform citric acid cycle. So the cell does not make any ATP.
