The correct answer is option B. shown that the tidal forces needed to move continents would stop Earth’s rotation.

The Wegener’s idea that tidal forces might cause continental drift suggested that the tidal force and the centrifugal forces on the earth was the cause of the movement of the plates.

But, he was unable to propose the mechanism of such movement. Also, if the centrifugal force of the earth would move the plates apart, then the earth below it should remain stationary, but the earth is in continuous rotation, so, this idea was not acceptable, as it is would stop rotation of earth.

Simora [160]

Answer:

a. add more of the enzyme

Explanation:

Enzymes have specific sites to which their substrates bind during the reaction. These sites are called active sites. When all the active sites of all the enzyme molecules present in a solution are bound to the substrate molecules, the enzyme is said to be saturated with the substrate. Under these conditions, more enzyme molecules are to be added to the solution to increase the reaction rate and to obtain the product at a fast rate. The addition of more enzymes will allow more substrate molecules to occupy the active sites and to be converted into the product/s.

Imagine that you are outside on a cold day and have removed your gloves to answer your phone. Which statement is true regarding

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-C

Explanation:

Mammals are warm-blooded animals that are they need to maintain the internal temperature irrespective of the external temperature at a constant rate or 37° C.

In cold conditions the person exposing the body parts to cold conditions response either by producing heat or conserving the heat in the body.

If a person removes the gloves, then a physiological change leads to the change in the diameter of the blood vessels. The diameter of the blood vessels reduces which reduces the loss of heat from the body as constriction of the blood vessels decreases the surface area to be exposed to cold conditions.

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.
