The correct answer is - A. A few centimeters a year.

Earth's crustal plates move very slowly, between 2 cm and 5 cm (depending on the plate) annually. This is the reason why it takes millions of years for them to significantly change their position, and with it the appearance of our planet. These crustal plates are slowly moving around the planet because they are powered by flow in the interior mantle.

Answer:

The function of  biomolecule inside our body system fully depends on the structure of that biomolecule.It is because the functional groups that participate in a  chemical or biochemical reactions are arranged in a specific array in the structure of that biomolecule or macromolecule.

Explanation:

a enzyme structure/catalysis   Enzymes are proteinecious in nature.Enzyme contain various amino acids in its active site such as histidine,serine,glutamic acid etc The amino acids of the active site of that enzyme interact with the substrate resulting in the formation of the product.

b mRNA structure/protein synthesis mRNA or messenger RNA consist of nucleotide sequence.The 3 concequetive nucleotides of an mRNA is termed as codons.Each codon codes for specific amino acid.The so formed amino acid linked with the adjacent amino acid by peptide linkage.

c cell membrane structure and signal transduction cell membrane contain various surface protein that act as receptor to detect signals by binding with signaling molecule during signal transduction process.

Cells will usually divide if they receive the proper signal at a checkpoint in which phase of the cell cycle? see concept 12.3 (
miskamm [114]
Cells will usually divide if they receive the proper signal at a checkpoint in the G1 phase of the cell cycle. In mammalian cells , this checkpoint is called the restriction point. The G1 phase is a phase of the cell cycle that takes place in eukaryotic cell division. In this phase the cell synthesizes mRNA and proteins in preparation for the subsequent steps leading to mitosis. It ends when the cell moves into the S phase of interphase.
