Biology

MatroZZZ [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Silicon, Magnesium and Aluminum

Explanation:

    The continental crust is formed essentially of alumina silicates (hence it was formerly called sial) and has an overall composition similar to that of granite. It is 25 to 50 km thick and the primary seismic waves propagate at 5.5 km / s.

   The oceanic crust is composed essentially of basalt, formed by magnesian silicates (hence formerly called sima). It is 5 to 10 km thick and is denser than the continental crust because it contains more iron.

When cells perform photosynthesis, they transform energy from one form to another, what takes place during photosynthesis?
Oxana [17]

During photosynthesis, solar/light energy from the sun is transformed into C6H12O6, or glucose (chemical energy). Photosynthesis is defined as the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods (glucose) from carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H20). Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen (O2) and glucose.

Radda [10]

Babies, especially those who are at least 4-6 months old, have the tendency to explore objects by touching and holding them, and putting them in their mouth. By this time, it is very important to keep small objects out of their reach so that accidents can be prevented.
