Answer:

The correct answers are options B. "It is between 25 and 70 km thick", C. "It is made of all types of rocks" and E. "It contains silicate minerals high in sodium, potassium, aluminum, and calcium".

Explanation:

In Geology, the continental crust is defined as the layer of the Earth that allowed the formation of the continents. This layer is made of all types of rocks, including igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks. This layer is also considered silica-rich, or felsic, because of its high content of silicate minerals. Regarding the thickness of continental crust, it is between 25 to 70 km thick. This is considerable thick considering that oceanic crust which barely reaches 10 km thick.

Doss [256]
The answer is C: because growth at 37°C would be ideal for revealing bacteria that are human pathogens. 37°C is equivalent to 98.6°F, the normal body temperature for humans. If bacteria are reproducing at this temperature in a petri dish, they are also most likely reproducing in the body. 

Cultures are made so doctors can be sure a person is sick with a specific bacteria often in order to make sure they are taking the right medication to get better. Choice A doesn't make sense, because we wouldn't want to kill the bacteria we are trying to study. Bacteria that makes us sick is harmful bacteria and is what we are trying to isolate. Choice B doesn't make sense, because they are only being incubated at one temperature, not a range or variety. Choice D is harder to rule out, but again the doctor wants the bacteria to reproduce so they can be sure that's what is causing the infection, so it wouldn't make sense that we would put the bacteria in a temperature they would not reproduce.

What happens when the parasympathetic nervous system is activated
kolezko [41]

Answer:

Body functions stimulated by the parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS) include sexual arousal, salivation, lacrimation, urination, digestion, and defecation. The PSNS primarily uses acetylcholine as its neurotransmitter. Peptides (such as cholecystokinin) may also act on the PSNS as neurotransmitters. The parasympathetic nervous system is composed mainly of the cranial and sacral spinal nerves.
