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.

zhenek [66]

Answer:

Chemiosmosis.

Explanation:

Chemiosmosis may be defined as the movement of ions and molecule down their chemical gradient through the semi-permeable membrane.ATP generation and movement of hydrogen ions during cellular respiration is an example of chemiosmosis.

Pellarga disease is caused due to the deficiency of nicotinamide. Chemiosmosis transport the ions but neither oxidation nor reduction occur in this process of cellular respiration.

Thus, the answer is chemiosmosis.

What is the purpose of the electrons in NADH molecules ?
MAXImum [283]
The electrons passing through the electron transport chain gradually lose energy, High-energy electrons donated to the chain by either NADH or FADH2 complete the chain, as low-energy electrons reduce oxygen molecules and form water.!!!! Hope this helps
