Biology

Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

The subduction zones are the features that are created along the convergent plate boundary, where two plates move towards each other. As both the converging plate collides, the denser and heavier plate subducts below the less denser plate and this results in the formation of the subduction zone. As the heavy plate goes down, the pressure on the buried rocks increases and the denser rocks are pulled down deep into the greater depth, where the rocks undergoes partial melting. This zone is marked by the presence of a V-shaped trench that lies just above it.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

An igneous rock such as basalt may break down and dissolve when exposed to the atmosphere, or melt as it is subducted under a continent. Due to the driving forces of the rock cycle, plate tectonics and the water cycle, rocks do not remain in equilibrium and are forced to change as they encounter new environments.

Two consecutive even positive integers have a product of 2,400. What is the smaller of the two numbers?
Flura [38]

Answer: <u>Option C; 48</u>

Explanation:

Let one number = x

Other number = x+2

According to question-

[x] [x+2] = 2400

x^{2} + 2x - 2400 = 0

Solving this equation, we get-

[x - 48] [x - 50 ] = 0

x = 48 or 50

Since 48 is the smaller number here, answer is option C

The lumen > plasma (extracellular fluid) > interstitial fluid (extracellular fluid) >   the skeletal muscle cell (intracellular fluid)

Explanation:

The glucose molecule would start from the lumen of the intestine where is absorbed. The glucose enters the plasma a part of the circulatory system known as extracellular fluid.

The glucose also encounters another type of extracellular fluid the interstitial fluid that is not in the circulatory system. At the last glucose as it is entering the skeletal muscle cell the last fluid compartment, which is intracellular fluid. This fluid is inside the cells.
