Answer:

slab push, volcanic eruptions, and subduction

Explanation:

To understand better, let's consider an example. Make small pieces of paper and put them in a bowl containing water. Then heat the bowl. After sometime, you will see that the pieces are moving. This is because of same phenomenon (convection currents) forming inside the bowl of water. The water will warm move upward whereas colder water will come to its place. Convection currents in Earth are formed due to high temperature of magma (molten rock material) that rises up and colder magma takes its position.

This process results in slab push, volcanic eruptions, and subduction.

<u>Slab pull</u>: Slab pull is the force exerted by plates during subduction. Subduction is a process when a denser plate moves beneath the less denser plate. Thus slab pull is also caused by convenction currents.

<u>Volcanic eruption</u>: During subduction, denser plate moves beneath the less denser plate until it reaches magma. There, the lithosphere destroyes. On a weaker lithosphere zone, the magma moves upward and break the crust thus leading to volcanic eruptions.

<u>Subduction</u>: As mentioned above, during subduction, denser plate moves beneath the less denser plate which is driven by convectin currents.

Answer:

The overall chemical reaction of cellular respiration converts one six-carbon molecule of glucose and six molecules of oxygen into six molecules of carbon dioxide and six molecules of water. ... So the carbons in the glucose become oxidized, and the oxygens become reduced.

What are the similarities and differences between carrier proteins and channel proteins​
kvv77 [185]
* Channel proteins- these are proteins with a hydrophilic pore where specific ions are able to pass through the membrane. Each channel protein is specific to an ion. This is the only way ions can travel through the membrane. They are trans membrane proteins.

* Carrier proteins- these are proteins which allow larger or polar molecules through the membrane. They are trans membrane proteins.

Carrier proteins essentially “carry" signals that are not soluble in aqueous solution through the blood stream to their target cells. Carrier proteins for hydrophilic signals prevent degradation of the signal. Channel proteins are embedded in cell membranes. They often are receptors (though not always), and when activated, allow specific ions to pass through the membrane.

A channel protein is a special arrangement of amino acids which embeds in the cell membrane, providing a hydrophilic passageway for water and small, polar ions. Like all transport proteins, each channel protein has a size and shape which excludes all but the most specific molecules

The carrier protein facilitate diffusion of molecules across the cell membrane. The protein is imbedded in the cell membrane and covers the entire membrane. This is important because the carrier must transport the molecule in and out of the cell.
