How can tectonic plates move relative to each other ?

Biology
1 answer:
Nat2105 [25]3 years ago
7 0

I know that I'm late but, the correct answer is:

The Earth's outer crust (the lithosphere) is composed of a series of tectonic plates that move on a hot flowing mantle layer called the asthenosphere. Heat within the asthenosphere creates convection currents that cause tectonic plates to move several centimeters per year relative to each other.

our thyroid glands plays a main role in a human body. It secretes thyroxine and calcitonin. In which thyroxine help in growth and cellular metabolism and calcitonin helps to regulates calcium concentration in blood . If thyroid gland stops working then there is low level of calcium in our blood, which leads to mental and hormonal disorder. In this way a person's blood calcium level would be affected if his/her thyroid gland stops working.

Explain why vision is lost when it hits the blind spot.
BaLLatris [955]
I don't personally know this but I looked it up and these were some answers I got.

1. There are no photoreceptors present, therefore vision is lost when light hits this spot (the blind spot)

2. Vision is lost when light hits the blind spot because the blind spot lacks photoreceptors, so light focused on it cannot be seen.

3. The back of your eye contains all of the detectors which sense when light hits them, this is how you see. All of these signals are sent to the brain by the optic nerve, which connects to the back of the eye to receive the signals. Where it connects, however, there are no detectors so there is a small patch which each eye is unable to see and the brain has to fill in based on data from the other eye.

Hope it helped!

Where in the cell does the krebs cycle part of cellular respiration occur ?
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

<u>In the mitochondrial matrix</u>

<u></u>

Explanation:

The mitochondria is an organelle within the cytoplasm of the cell.  It consists of an outer membrane, inner membrane, and matrix containing a gel-like substance. During aerobic respiration in mitochondria, cells break down sugars in the form of glucose into CO_{2} (carbon dioxide) and  H_{2} O (water) to obtain energy in the form of ATP or adenosine triphosphate.

aerobic respiration:

C6H12O6+ 6 O2        →      6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ≅38 ATP

(glucose)   (oxygen)         (carbon dioxide) + (water)

The Kreb's cycle involves several enzymatic reactions, where pyruvate derivatives obtained from glycolysis, are reduced and oxidized to harvest energy as ATP.

Write a paragraph explaining how eukaryotic cells arose from prokaryotic cells.
timurjin [86]
Cells are divided into two main classes, initially defined by whether they contain a nucleus. Prokaryotic cells (bacteria) lack a nuclear envelope; eukaryotic cells have a nucleus in which the genetic material is separated from the cytoplasm. Prokaryotic cells are generally smaller and simpler than eukaryotic cells; in addition to the absence of a nucleus, their genomes are less complex and they do not contain cytoplasmic organelles or a cytoskeleton (Table 1.1). In spite of these differences, the same basic molecular mechanisms govern the lives of both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, indicating that all present-day cells are descended from a single primordial ancestor.
