What is the approximate rate of plate movement??

Biology
1 answer:
VikaD [51]4 years ago
5 0
<span>Some sources stated that in the North Atlantic, the rate of movement is only about 1 cm (about 0.4 in) per year, while in the Pacific it amounts to more than 4 cm (almost 2 in) annually, while two others said the plates, in general, traveled from 5 to 10 cm/yr.</span>

1.what did magnesium and oxygen atoms had to do to bond ?
devlian [24]

Answer:

1. Magnesium and oxygen atoms bond to form an ionic compound; this is evident because one forms a cation and the other an anion. When an ionic compound is formed, one atom "steals" an electron (or electrons) from another. In this case, an oxygen atom (which is pretty electronegative by the way) "steals" 2 electrons from a magnesium atom. The resulting oxygen anion and magnesium cation attract one another to form a bond (more specifically, an ionic one).

2. The oxygen atom needed two sodium atoms to bond because it needs two additional electrons to achieve a stable octet of electrons. 1 sodium atom provides 1 additional electron after it is "stolen" by oxygen, so 2 sodium atoms are needed in total to form the bond.

3. The magnesium atom needed two fluorine atoms to bond because it needs to lose two electrons to achieve a stable configuration/octet of electrons. 1 fluorine atom "steals" one electron, so 2 are needed in total.

Happy Holidays!

Discuss and explain the correlation between thirst and kidney function​
Pachacha [2.7K]

The correlation between thirst and kidney function is the following:

Thirst is the regulator of the state of hydration, necessary to eliminate the osmotic load, it can help preserve kidney function.

The instantaneous perception of osmolarity in the blood allows us to generate the sensation of thirst.

In other words, this sensation is in turn caused by a high concentration of osmolytes (compounds that affect osmosis, or the way it is measured, osmolality or osmolarity) or by hypovolemia.

The receptors that control cellular dehydration are called osmoreceptors and are located in the lateral preoptic area.

Osmoreceptors detect this decrease in cellular water and trigger thirst, as well as the release of Anti-Diuretic Hormone into the bloodstream.

Antidiuretic hormone helps regulate the amount of water in the body by controlling the amount of water excreted by the kidneys.

Therefore, we can conclude that the sensation of thirst appears the sodium concentration is higher than normal, when drinking water, the concentration gradient is reduced, which allows the normal functioning of kidney function.

Northern elephant seals were hunted to the point that their population size was reduced to as few as 20 in the late 1800s. Since
KatRina [158]

Population bottlenecks.  but their genes still carry the marks of this bottleneck: they have much less genetic variation than a population of southern elephant seals that was not so intensely hunted.
