Plate tectonics is referred to a geology theory, which explains the movement of earth’s lithosphere. This theory suggests that the earth’s lithosphere is made up of many plates, and these plates move on each other causing collision of the plates or sometimes separation of the landmasses.

Sometimes, the movements of the plate occur in such a way that the surface of the earth is buried underground. Even in normal circumstance, some of the surface materials buried underground. So, by studying the type of things existed on the surface in past, one can predict the abundance of a specific substance underground.

Hence, the correct answer is option b. – Plate tectonics.

Why don't all cells demonstrate the presence of all intracellular structures?

Vinil7 [7]

All the cells don't have all of the intracellular structures because each and every cell do not need each and every intracellular structure. The plant cells have chloroplasts because they need to convert the light energy into chemical energy via the process of photosynthesis, the animal cells, however, have no such need, therefore, the animal cells do not have chloroplasts. Also, the erythrocytes do not have the cellular organelles in them which are present in the other body cells, because there is no need for the cellular organelles in them. The large vacuoles in plant cells is also a great example. The plants need the vacuoles for the metabolic processes, while most animal cells have no need for them.

How do earthworms get their energy

Allushta [10]

worms get their energy through the biological process of cellular respiration where glucose from the food they eat is converted into ATP. This molecule is packed with potential energy, and is used by the cells within the worm to do work.

Hope this helps (:

Fever results from the stimulations of the hypothalamic thermoregulatory center by: A prostaglandins B granuloma C opsonin D All

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

A prostaglandins

Explanation:

Fever is the abnormal body temperature that is caused by pyrogens.Pyrogens are the chemicals produced by pathogen. Fever is protective mechanism of body to fight against pathogens. It is actually the immune response that spread to whole body with elevated temperataure. The elevated temperature helps to deal with pathogen more efficiently.

The interleukins released be immune cells in response pyrogen ultimately lead to release of prostaglandin E2. Prostaglandin E2 reset the hypothalamus thermoregulation. The hypothalamus feels the body temperature is cool although how high is the body temperature.

An _____ is a body structure composed of tissues that have related functions. electrolyte organ anion organelle

Katarina [22]

An organ is a body structure composed of tissues that have related functions. The human body has levels of organization. <span>The cell is the basic structural and functional unit of a living organism which communicates with different and similar cells in order to work together and carry out all physiological processes. <span>Cells with similar structures are grouped together in a tissue to perform a shared function. A group of tissues forms an organ that together with other organs make organ system. The integrated activity of all the organ systems makes the whole organism.</span></span>
