Answer:

A. The lithosphere contains both the crust and the uppermost rigid layer of the mantle

Explanation:

The statement that describes the difference between the crust and lithosphere is that the lithosphere contains both the crust and the uppermost rigid layer of the mantle.

  • The earth is divided primarily into 3 concentric layers; crust, core, and mantle.
  • The crust is the outermost layer of the earth. It is a very thin layer.
  • The lithosphere, on the other hand, is the crust plus the upper rigid layer of the mantle.
  • This is the main difference between the crust and lithosphere.

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

"GFP contained in synaptic vesicles moved into the synaptic cleft by exocytosis."

Explanation:

Synaptic vesicles are small membrane sacs that carry neurotransmitters from the cell body where they are produced, to the presynaptic membrane of the terminal button where they are released. The release zone of the presynaptic membrane contains voltage-dependent calcium channels. When an action potential depolarizes the presynaptic plasma membrane, Ca^{2+}-channels open, and  Ca^{2+} flows into the nerve terminal to trigger the exocytosis of synaptic vesicles, thereby releasing their neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft

charle [14.2K]
<h2>The correct answer is: e.</h2>

Explanation:

  • Decline in the global population of amphibians is due to multiple reasons which include:
  1. A moist ecosystem is necessary for amphibians especially for the purpose of their reproduction. The drainage of the wetlands deprives them of their habitat.
  2. Pollutants adversely affects the survival of the gametes, tadpoles or the adult amphibians by acting as toxic agents and inhibiting their normal metabolic function.
  3. Infectious diseases often cause their death resulting their population to decline.
  4. Global climate warming affects their normal metabolic growth and development and hence causes their population to decline.
