<em><u>Pangaea began to break up about 200 million years ago as a result of the movement of the Earth's tectonic plates and mantle convection. </u></em>

<em><u></u></em>

Further Explanations:

Pangaea was a super continent said to have existed during the era of late Paleozoic and primary Mesozoic era. It was expected to have assembled from earlier continental units somewhat   335 million years ago, and it began to break out for almost 175 million years ago. Most of the scientists believed that the super continent Pangaea got divided for the same reason because of which continental plates are moving in the present days. The primary sources of this movement are the conventional current rolling over the upper zones of the mantle. Nearly 200 million centuries ago, Pangaea got parted into two new continents “Laurasia” and “Gondwanaland”.

Tectonic plates are the portions of the Earth's crust and topmost section of the mantle. They together are denoted to as lithosphere. These plates are about 100 km thick and comprise of two major materials, oceanic crust or sima made from silicon and magnesium while continental crust or sial made from silicon and aluminum.

In bacterial and archaeal cells, the electron transport chain is located in the _________ whereas in eukaryotic cells, the elect
ANEK [815]

Answer:

Cell membrane of prokaryotes and Inner mitochondria of eukaryotes

Explanation:

Electron transport chain is a part of oxidative phosphorylation which is the third step of aerobic cellular respiration in living organisms. The ETC is a complex of proteins and mobile electron carriers. It occurs when electron is being transferred from one electron carrier to another, starting from NADH and FADH2. A proton pump which is used to synthesize ATP is generated at the end.

This ETC process occurs in the cell membrane of prokaryotic cells due to the fact that they lack a membrane-bound Mitochondrion. ETC occurs in the inner membrane of the mitochondria called CRISTAE in eukaryotic cells.

In at least 200 words explain how DNA replicates
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer: Replication is the process by which a double-stranded DNA molecule is copied to produce two identical DNA molecules. Replication occurs in three major steps: the opening of the double helix and separation of the DNA strands, the priming of the template strand, and the assembly of the new DNA segment. During separation, the two strands of the DNA double helix uncoil at a specific location called the origin. Several enzymes and proteins then work together to prepare, or prime, the strands for duplication. Finally, a special enzyme called DNA polymerase organizes the assembly of the new DNA strands. The following description of this three-stage process applies generally to all cells, but specific variations within the process may occur depending on organism and cell type.
