<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.

55 Which of the following is an advantage of
Savatey [412]

<u>Answer</u>:

"It increases the mutation rate"  is an advantage of  sexual reproduction

<u>Explanation</u>:

The basic thing of evolution is fundamental, as it helps in generation of genetic variation on which the selection can act. Sexual reproduction leads to genetic diversity, and this genetic diversity leads to increase the mutation rate. Genetic diversity occurs because of two various cells which are combining together and biological assortment which happens at the time of cell division. Neutral genetic diversity in the population leads to high mutation rate.

12.) Using graph 1, explain how enzymes work. Include the term activation energy and compare the two curves,
seropon [69]

Answer:

Enzymes create chemical reactions in the body. They actually speed up the rate of a chemical reaction to help support life. The enzymes in your body help to perform very important tasks.

Explanation:

To understand more about working of enzyme and its activation energy lets consider few points:

• In biochemical processes, molecules require energy in order to start a reaction. For example, molecules need to have some kinetic energy, or velocity, to collide with other molecules to initiate a reaction. If the collisions don't happen often or don't have enough kinetic energy, no reaction will take place. The energy required to start a reaction is called the activation energy.

• Reactants and products have specific energies. In order to transform the reactants into products, the reactants would have to go through a transition state which is usually higher in energy.

• In this graph we see the plot of energy versus the progress of a reaction. Reactants have higher energy than products. The energy of the reactants increase and then decrease to the final product energy. The highest point in the curve represents the energy of the intermediate state in the reaction. The energy required to achieve the intermediate state is the activation energy of the reaction.

Thus, we conclude that enzyme requires certain amount of energy to complete the reaction and that energy is known as activation energy for the reaction.
