7 0
High rates of volcanism, earthquakes, and mountain building are the sites of subduction zones. They occur in convergent boundaries found in tectonic plates of both oceanic and continental crusts. Subduction zones occur when one tectonic plate moves under another tectonic plate, sinking into the mantle as the plates converge again.
<span>
Regions that are within subduction zones experience an average rate of convergence of 2-8 centimeters per year. They are subject to many earthquakes because of the collisions that occur within the tectonic plates. </span>

Olegator [25]

Answer:

RNA contains an additional oxygen atom on the ribose sugar. (Ans. C)

Neurons have special proteins in their
Ilya [14]

Answer:

The ribosomes on the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) most likely produces neuronal special proteins.

Explanation:

Conduction of electrical impulses by action potentials of neurons takes place through controlled flow of charged ions through neuronal membranes. This ion transfer is controlled by specialized neuronal channel proteins which are present in the neuronal cell membrane.  

These channel proteins allow for hydrophillic passage of ions and water molecules across the neuronal membranes.  

Ribosomes that are attached to the RER are involved in protein synthesis. They carry the code for proteins carried by the mRNA and translate into respective protein.

The RER along with some free ribosomes cluster together as Nissl bodies and are mainly involved in neuronal specialized proteins.

It is believed the major reason for the decline in amphibian species is _______.
Oliga [24]

The right answer is climate change.

Amphibians do not have the possibility of producing heat. Their activity depends on the environmental temperature and its fluctuations. For example, an average temperature increase of 1 ° C is likely to increase the metabolic expenditure of ectotherms by at least 10 to 30%. Global warming has or will have a significant impact on populations and their ability to adapt according to the evolutionary history of species.
