If new lithosphere is generated at the mid ocean ridges, why isn't the Earth

-Subduction causes the lithosphere to be recycled at plate boundaries

At destructive boundaries, tectonic plates collide, the denser plate gets subducted under the less dense plate. The subducted plate dives into the mantle, melts and is recycled.

Explanation:

At the constructive boundary, as two plates move away from each other, magma from the mantle rises to occupy the void. The magma cools to form new crust in between the two plates.

As new crust is formed at the constructive boundaries and old crust is destroyed at destructive boundaries this maintains a balance that ensures the crust is maintained more or less the same size over time. The only difference is that the crust shift position due to these tectonic plates movements driven by convection currents of the mantle.

What is the difference between Darwin's theory of evolution and Lamarck's theory of evolution ?
nekit [7.7K]
Darwin believed that organisms changed gradually over time,but Lamarck thought they changed suddenly.Lamarck believed that organisms could acquire characteristics during their lifetime that they could pass down to their offspring,but Darwin did not believe these traits could be passed down.Darwin believed that species are still changing,but Lamarck believed they had stopped.Lamarck believed that evolution occurred randomly,but Darwin thought it was the result of predetermined plan.Hope this help you!

21. Which step in cellular respiration occurs outside of the inner membrane space of the cell mitochondria? a. Krebs Cycle c. Tr
Marrrta [24]

Answer: c. Transition Reaction

Explanation:

During the transition reaction, Acetyl-CoA is formed and connects the first stage of glycolysis with the Krebs Cycle (Citric Acid Cycle). In the presence of oxygen, pyruvate enters the mitochondria and is oxidized to form a compound of 2 carbon, acetate, with energy and CO2 release. During this process, the acetate binds to a coenzyme(coenzyme A (CoA)) - forming the acetyl-coenzyme A.

The 3 steps:

1. pyruvate is oxidized and forms acetate with liberation of CO2;

2. the energy released in the oxidation of pyruvate is stored in the reduction reaction of NAD+ to NADH + H+

3. The acetate molecule combines with coenzyme A to form acetyl-coenzyme A.

Which of the following is a product of cellular respiration and not fermentation? A) carbon dioxide bubbles in baked goods B) ac
kumpel [21]

The correct option is D.

Cellular respiration is the process by which the body breaks down the sugar molecules that are eaten in food with the aid of oxygen and covert them into energy, carbon dioxide and water are also produced as by products. Cellular respiration and fermentation are both involved in the breaking down of sugars but cellular respiration occurs in the presence of oxygen while fermentation occurs in the absence of oxygen. Carbon dioxide is breath out by the lungs during cellular respiration.

(1)

Troposphere – This is the densest layer and where weather events occur

Stratosphere – This is where the ozone layer is found. Some high altitude aircraft cruise in this layer.

Mesosphere – Temperatures drop with altitude in this layer

Thermosphere – This is where most of the meteorites that enter the earth’s atmosphere burn up. This layer takes up most of the Uv and X-rays from the sun. Most satellites orbiting earth are in this layer

Exosphere – almost akin to space due to the thinness of the layer. Molecules in the layer often escape into space

(2)

A ‘pause’ is a transition between the above-mentioned distinct layers. The tropopause, for example, occurs between the troposphere and the stratosphere and the stratopause between the stratosphere and mesosphere and thermopause is found between thermosphere and exosphere.

(3)

A temperature inversion is a rise in temperatures with altitude in a layer in the atmosphere. One layer exhibiting temperature inversion is the stratosphere. This is due to the ozone layer that absorbs UV light. The upper ozone absorbs most of the UV light, than lower ozone, exciting the molecules and making the higher altitudes in the layer to be warmer.

(4)

The ozone layer protects life on earth from the high energy UV radiation from the sun. UV is capable of causing double-stranded break on DNA resulting in genetic mutations on organisms. Most of these would be lethal. The Ozone absorbs most of the UV before it reaches earth's surface. Ozone is formed when an oxygen molecule reacts with another oxygen atom to form an O₃. The oxygen atoms are made from the splitting of an oxygen molecule by UV light.
