How do ocean floor rocks and sediments provide evidence of seafloor spreading

Biology
1 answer:
viva [34]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:First, samples of the deep ocean floor show that basaltic oceanic crust and overlying sediment become progressively younger as the mid-ocean ridge is approached, and the sediment cover is thinner near the ridge.

Explanation:

The features of the seafloor and the patterns of magnetic polarity symmetrically about the mid-ocean ridges were the pieces that Hess needed. ... As oceanic crust forms and spreads, moving away from the ridge crest, it pushes the continent away from the ridge axis.

Prior to neurotransmitter release, vesicles are transported to specialized regions of the presynaptic terminal called _______ zo
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

The correct answers are: Synaptic Active Zones, Exocytosis.

Explanation:

  • An impulse after travelling along the dendrites, cell body and axon of a neuron reaches the axon endings in the form of an action potential (signal transmitted by the activation of voltage gated sodium and potassium channels present on the plasma membrane of the neurons).
  • At the axon ending or the pre-synaptic region, the action potential triggers the opening of the voltage dependent calcium channels, that promotes the influx of calcium ions into the pre-synaptic region of the neuron.
  • This process triggers the fusion of the neuro-transmitter carrying vesicles with the plasma membrane in the pre-synaptic region of the neuron.
  • As a result of fusion the neurotransmitter is released into the synaptic cleft.
  • At the pre-synaptic region of the neuron, there is a huge concentration of neuro-transmitter carrying vesicles which remain adhered to proteins called CAZ (cytomatrix at the active zone) proteins. These proteins help the neurotransmitter carrying vesicles to remain tethered or docked to the pre-synaptic membrane in the axon terminal of the neuron. They together form the Synaptic Active Zone.
  • In response to calcium ion influx these proteins help the neurotransmitter carrying vesicles to fuse with the plasma membrane in the pre-synaptic region of the neural axon and release the neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft.
  • The process of fusion of the neurotransmitter carrying vesicles with the plasma membrane in the pre-synaptic region of the neural axon followed by the release of the neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft is known as Exocytosis.

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. From the atmosphere. The CO2 found in the atmosphere including ones expelled by animals during respiration is used in photosynthesis

2. From sunlight. During photosynthesis, plants utilize energy from the sun also known as solar energy converting it into chemical energy

3. The product which is glucose is metabolized in the mitochondria

4. The reduction of CO2 with it acting as an electron acceptor

5. Oxygen is a waste product of oxygenic photosynthesis wherein with oxidation of water, oxygen is produced as a byproduct
