Is it the hydrosphere or lithosphere

Answer:

It is the interaction between the lithosphere and the hydrosphere

Explanation:

Lithosphere represents the crustal and a small portion of the upper mantle whereas hydrosphere is the region that contains all the water bodies on earth, in the form of ice, liquid, and vapor.

The ocean is rich in numerous marine species. These species when they die their hard parts are deposited at the bottom of the ocean. These include the shells of brachiopods, gastropods, and cephalopods. Near the ocean floor, the pressure is extremely high and oxygen is relatively low in comparison to the amount that is present in the atmosphere. So it provides these shells the necessary conditions for preservation. With the further deposition of sediments over them, they get buried and undergoes compaction due to the overlying sediments. In due course of time, it forms a sedimentary rock such as shale, sandstone, and limestone and is rich in these fossilized shells.

Thus <u>the entire process takes place due to the interaction between the lithosphere and the hydrosphere.</u>

Answer: (D) Only cell B forms a cell plate during cytokinesis.

Explanation: The “cell cycle” describes the process that cells go through, from their “birth” as new daughter cells, until they themselves are ready to split and become “parent cells” to two new daughter cells. The formation of the cell plate takes place during the mitotic phase.

When a muscle is stimulated to contract aerobically, less lactic acid is formed than when it contracts anaerobically because:___
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

5. under aerobic conditions most of the pyruvate generated as a result of glycolysis is oxidized by the citric acid cycle rather than reduced to lactate.

Explanation:

The contraction of muscles occurs in the presence of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) because ATP supplies the muscles with the energy they require for contraction.

Muscles can undergo contraction Aerobically ( in the presence of oxygen) or Anaerobically ( in the absence of oxygen).

When a muscle is stimulated to contract aerobically, less lactic acid is formed than when it contracts anaerobically because under aerobic conditions most of the pyruvate generated as a result of glycolysis is oxidized by the citric acid cycle rather than reduced to lactate.
