Explain how the ages of the rocks on the ocean floor support the theory of seafloor spreading​

Biology
1 answer:
Dafna11 [192]3 years ago
4 0

The Drilling sample of the Seafloor spreading theory helped in determining rock ages on the floor of ocean.

Explanation:

The formation of crusts of ocean by the process of volcanic eruptions in the ridges of the middle ocean is the theory of seafloor spreading proposed by Hammond Hess. The movement of tectonic plates continuously forms sea floors through spreading of seafloor.  The several evidences in support of this theory has been seen, of which some are – molten material eruptions, magnetic stripes in rocks and rock ages.

The drilling evidence is the final one that was proved by taking samples of rock by drilling in ocean and by bringing them with pipes. The observation of these rocks proved that older rocks were collected from farther ridges and youngers are found in the central ridges.

Create a table in which you compare the components and functions of the following.
Sauron [17]

Nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids are the four major types of biomolecules that form all living things. These biomolecules consists of monomers linked together by covalent bonds to form polymers.

  • Nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates and lipids can be classified according to their basic elements, monomer constituents, and functions.

Basic elements:

  1. Nucleic acids: Hydrogen (H); Carbon (C); Oxygen (O); Nitrogen (N); Phosphorous (P)
  2. Proteins: Hydrogen (H); Carbon (C); Oxygen (O); Nitrogen (N); Sulfur (Z)
  3. Carbohydrates: Hydrogen (H); Carbon (C); Oxygen (O)
  4. Lipids: Hydrogen (H); Carbon (C); Oxygen (O); Phosphorous (P)

Monomer constituents:

  1. Nucleic acids: nucleotides
  2. Proteins: amino acids
  3. Carbohydrates: monosaccharides
  4. Lipids: fatty acids and glycerol

Functions:

  1. Nucleic acids: contains the hereditary information to synthesize proteins
  2. Proteins: regulate metabolic processes (enzymes), the main biomolecule of cellular structures
  3. Carbohydrates: store energy (short term); form cellular structures
  4. Lipids: store energy (long term); the main component of biological membranes

Examples:

  1. Nucleic acids: DNA and RNA
  2. Proteins: lactase; collagen
  3. Carbohydrates: starch (polysaccharide); glucose (monosacharide)
  4. Lipids: phospholipids; cholesterol

Suppose that Zonosemata flies whose own wings had been clipped and reattached were attacked more frequently than untreated Zonos
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

(c)-All results for the experimental groups involving wing surgery would be invalid.  

Explanation:

The study researcher shown in the above question noted that flies that underwent wing surgery were more attacked than those that received no wing treatment. However, the researcher does not show the study variables and, consequently, does not show any relationship between the variables and the research result. For this reason, we can state that based on this result, all results for experimental groups involving wing surgery would be invalid.

Which does not belong between carrot,beetroot,potato,radish?
Aloiza [94]
The answer is <span>potato.

Potato is a stem tuber while carrot, beetroot, and radish are true root crops and not tubers.
</span>

Tuber is a structure that provides nutrients for the next season regrowth. It is specialised for asexual reproduction. Potato is a stem tuber, for example. In one growing season, the tuber is produced and used to perennate the plant. In the autumn, when the plant structure above-ground dies, the tuber survives underground over the winter. When spring comes, tuber regenerates new shoots thanks to nutrients stored. On the other hand, true root crops (carrot, beetroot, radish) are modified roots to store energy but they are not specialised for asexual reproduction.
