What is one reason why many geologists did not at first accept the theory of continental drift?

The first reason was that his theory of continental drift was just too weak for most geologists to accept. Even though he believed the supercontinent that broke up into different continents moved, he did not have a clear explanation to how the continents moved. The other reason is that some of his explanation clashed with ideas that were widely accepted in the science communities. He used similar fossils from different continents to back up his theory of continental drift. However, at that time, many scientists that had observed similarities in fossils in places like South America and Africa believed there were similar fossils in different continents because of a land bridge that were formed by two continents.


Many science communities believe that land bridges allowed migration of many different species and even people to one place to another by large bodies of water frozen by low temperature known as ice age.

What do the parasympathetic and sympathetic divisions have in common? hints what do the parasympathetic and sympathetic division
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

Most nerve fibers from both divisions innervate many of the same effectors.

Most nerve fibers from both divisions share the same sites of origin.

The parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for controlling the homeostasis, resting and digestion functions of the body. The sympathetic nervous system controls the body's response against threat and fight and flight responses. Both parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems are responsible for the involuntary functions of the human body.

Most nerve fibers from both divisions share the same sites of origin because both have the nerve fibers that are originated from brain or spinal cord that are directed or passes to the targeted organs.

Most nerve fibers from both divisions innervate many of the same effectors so as to induce functions according to the bodily needs.

The researchers predict that for any particular concentration of substrate the c aurantiacus enolase catalyzed reaction is more
UNO [17]

Answer:

because increase in temperature will increase the enzyme catalyzed reaction.

Explanation:

As the temperature increases the kinetic energy of molecules increases means the collision between substrate and enzyme increases that is substrate attached to its appropriate active site of enzyme which results in increase in reaction. But if temperature is too high it can denature the enzymatic activity.

In catalyzed reaction increase in temperature will loosen the bond between molecules which results in catalyzation.
