The correct answer is D. Earth's axial tilt causes one side of Earth to be more exposed to the Sun than the other.

Explanation:

Seasons and therefore daylight in different locations of the Earth are mainly explained through two main factors. The first factor is that Earth orbits around the sun which make different areas of the Earth to be exposed to different intensities of sunlight. Additionally, the differences between Northen and Southern Hemispheres regarding seasons occur due to the Earth's axial tilt that means the Earth is placed obliquely and this makes one of the hemispheres to receive more light than the other and causes seasons to occur in the North and Sout hemisphere at a different time. According to this, the option that explains the variations in seasons and daylight is "Earth's axial tilt causes one side of Earth to be more exposed to the Sun than the other".

Makovka662 [10]

Answer: A. protein like tubules

B. Microtubules

C. Microfilaments

Explanation:

Cytokinesis in the bacteria is facilitated by the presence of these conserved tubulin-like proteins. Due to the fact that their walls are flexible, constriction of these walls is possible aiding in cytokinesis. Unlike in plant that have rigid cell wall, a cell plate is involved in the formation of a new cell wall between the daughter cells. Network of microtubules determines the position of the cell plate which is mostly like a disc in the middle of the two daughter cells. Cleavage furrow occurs in animal cells which is caused by the action of the contractile ring: a ring of actin microfilament.

The arctic fox and gray fox evolved from the same species over thousands of years. can you place these steps in the process of a
elena55 [62]
Allopatric speciation, also referred to as geographic speciation, is a method of the formation of new species due to isolation of the species from one another through geographic means.

The first step in this process is geographic isolation, which means that the original population is divided into two groups due to geographical reasons such as movement of continents or formation of water bodies.

Next, the species are subjected to different selection pressures due to their different environments. Eventually, the gene pool becomes very different for the two species due to the different selection pressures and because they are not allowed to mix.

Finally, after enough time passes, speciation occurs, which means that the two populations cannot breed to form fertile offspring.

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

plant B

Explanation:

This is because plant B is exposed to more sunlight which is essential in photosynthesis.

so the chlorophyll is able to trap more sunlight. which will make it have a higher rate of photosynthesis.

What term describes the rising and sinking of the lithosphere as material is added or removed?
Margaret [11]
<span>Composition. (We use the crust-mantle-core terminology to describe differences in chemical composition in Earth's interior. We use the lithosphere- asthenosphere terminology to describe differences the physical state and behavior. Note that the boundaries between layers with different compositions do not occur at the same depths as the boundaries between layers with different physical properties. For example, there is a change in composition when passing from crust into mantle. But there is no change in physical state or behavior at this boundary- the uppermost part of the mantle behaves in the same way that the crust does because it is still far enough below its melting temperature to be a rigid, brittle solid. The transition to a softer, more pliable solid occurs further down within the mantle and this change in behavior occurs with no change in composition.)</span>

How do humans (and other animals) rely on the products of<br> photosynthesis?
baherus [9]

Answer:

Like plants, humans and other animals depend on glucose as an energy source, but they are unable to produce it on their own and must rely ultimately on the glucose produced by plants. Moreover, the oxygen humans and other animals breathe is the oxygen released during photosynthesis.
