Answers

The explanations that provide support for continental drift theory are;

• Coal fields match up across continents

• Tropical plant fossils were found in Arctic areas

• Similar rock types are found across continents

• Evidence of glacier can be found in South Africa

Explanation

According to Alfred Lothar Wegener in his studies on the origin of continents and oceans, he outlines that the theory of continental drift can be supported by five evidences which  are; the jigsaw fit of the continental alignment, geological fit, tectonic fit, glacial deposits and fossil evidence.

Gre4nikov [31]
The wing of a bat is homologous to the flipper of a whale. Homologous structures are structures that have a similar ancestries and common traits but maybe not have the same function in an organism. For example the arm of a human, the wing of a bird or a bat, the leg of a dog and the flipper of a dolphin or whale are homologous structures.

A person will most likely develop aphasia as a result of damage to which parts of the brain?
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is Broca's area or Wernicke's area.

Explanation:

Aphasia refers to a language disorder, which arises due to the destruction of the parts of the brain, which are accountable for language. Aphasia generally causes due to the destruction of Wernicke's area or Broca's area. For the majority of the individuals, these are the sections of the brain's left hemisphere.  

The condition known as aphasia generally takes place suddenly, usually as the outcome of a head injury or stroke, however, it can also arise gradually, in the individuals suffering from a brain tumor. The disorder hampers both the comprehension and expression of language and at the same time the tendency to read and write.

Why is breaking and rearranging bonds in the process of photosynthesis and cellular respiration important? WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST
____ [38]

Answer:

Photosynthesis

All organisms in the plant kingdom are autotrophs/producers and therefore carry out photosynthesis.  Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplast (figure 1) of plant cells which are concentrated predominantly in the leaves.  The chloroplasts contain the green pigment chlorophyll, giving leaves their green color, and is responsible for capturing light energy to power photosynthesis.

Picture

Figure 1

All living things need a few basic things to survive, we learned these things as the four basic needs of living things.  Plants are no exception to this and require space, gases, food, and water like all other living organisms.

The two basic needs, water and gas are especially important for a plant to carry out photosynthesis. The water and gas makeup two of the three reactants of photosynthesis. The needed water (H2O) is absorbed from underground into the roots of the plant and is then transported to each cell by the vascular tissue xylem.

Picture

Figure 2 https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/db/ Photosynthesis.gif

Plants cannot carry out photosynthesis without carbon dioxide (CO2), the gas animals exhale. Plants take in CO2 and release O2 (the opposite of animals) by the process of transpiration (respiration in animals).  

Although plants do not have lungs or lung-like structures, they do have small pores on the underside of their leaves that regulate transpiration.  These pores are called stoma or stomata and allow CO2 and O2 to enter and exit the plant leaves.  Each stoma is surrounded by two guard cells that open and close the stoma.  Stomata remain open when the plant is in need of CO2, during photosynthesis, and closed during times of photosynthetic inactivity.  You will be conducting a lab during which you will test when stomata tend to be open vs when they tend to be closed.

In addition to CO2 and H2O, plants must also have sunlight or light energy.  As mentioned above, the light energy absorbed by the chlorophyll powers the process of photosynthesis. Sunlight is responsible for breaking the molecular bonds of the CO2 and H2O and then rearranging the atoms into the products of photosynthesis, glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2). Through photosynthesis, light energy is converted into stored energy, the glucose (food).

To summarize: Energy from the sun is converted into stored chemical energy or food called glucose in the plant cell by the process of photosynthesis. The green pigment- chlorophyll- is located in the chloroplast and captures the sunlight. The energy from the sun is then used to change the carbon dioxide and water into the sugar glucose and oxygen. Glucose is a sugar that is stored energy for later use.
