because they occur near mid-ocean ridges. Chris says they are formed by meteors that have crashed into the ocean, because he saw it in an action movie. Who has the better scientific claim?
A) Sabrina, because her claim is based on research and logic.
B) Sabrina, because she doesn't watch movies.
C) Chris, because he has considered all the possible explanations.

Seamounts are underwater mountains that rise thousands of feet from the seafloor. These are mostly volcanic in origin and are found on oceanic crusts near mid-ocean ridges. As these seamounts slowly move away from the oceanic ridge due to seafloor spreading, they gradually subside due to their enormous mass.

So according to the question, Sabrina has a better claim because her claim is based on research and logic.

Answer is option A.

From the given scenario it can be inferred that Sabrina’s claim is scientifically correct, because her claim is based on research and logic.

<u>Explanation: </u>

In the given scenario, Sabarina stated that “Seamounts are formed by divergent plates, because they occur near mid-ocean ridges” which is factually correct.

Seamounts are underwater mountains which rises above hundreds or thousands of feet from the seafloor. Near mid-ocean bridges the divergent plates would spread apart and the gaps are filled by magma.

Define the term osmosis and give an example.​
makkiz [27]

Answer: Osmosis is the movement of water or other solvent through a plasma membrane from a region of low solute concentration to a region of high solute concentration, tending to equalise the concentrations of the solutes. Osmosis is passive transport, meaning it does not require energy to be applied.

Examples of osmosis in daily life include plant cells soaking up water, skin soaking up water, and slugs reacting to salt.

The most likely complication of this disease is the development of Empyema.

Explanation:

The patient has symptoms of fever, dyspenea (breathlessness with chest pain), cough and sputum which directs towards empyema as they are symptoms of pneumonia and prolonged symptoms would cause empyema.

The infiltrates in the posterior segments of upper lobe of the right lung results in bulging fissure causing necrosis lesion which would cause the complications of empyema.

The empyema is the condition in which pus cells are formed in thoracic cavity, in pleural fluid bacterial infection occurs due to pneumonia or surgery of chest.

The empyema risk is high for diabetics, pulmunary infected and alcoholism.

What process occurs in Box A?
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The process occurring in Box A is Glycolysis

Explanation:

Glycolysis is the pathway by which glucose, a six-carbon molecule is oxidized to molecules of pyruvate, a three-carbon molecule with the release of ATP and electrons which are carried by NADH molecules.

The process occurs in the cytoplasm of cells and requires 10 glycolytic enzymes.

The pyruvate molecules from glycolysis is first oxidized to acetyl-CoA and carbon dioxide molecules. The acetyl-CoA molecules enter the citric acid cycle occurring in the mitochondria and are used up in the production of  ATP, CO2, and electrons carried by NADH and FADH2.

The electrons carried by NADH and FADH2 from glycolysis and citric acid cycle are used in the oxidative phosphorylation pathway occurring inside the mitochondrion for transformation of oxygen molecules into water molecules with release of ATP.
