Lithosphere is the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle.
Earth's lithosphere includes the crust and the uppermost mantle, which constitute the hard and rigid outer layer of the Earth. The lithosphere is subdivided into tectonic plates<span>. The uppermost part of the lithosphere that chemically reacts to the </span>atmosphere<span>, </span>hydrosphere<span> and </span>biosphere<span> through the </span>soil forming process<span> is called the </span>pedosphere<span>. The lithosphere is underlain by the </span>asthenosphere<span> which is the weaker, hotter, and deeper part of the upper mantle.</span>

The rocky upper layer of the solid earth is called the "lithosphere". This rocky part includes the brittle upper portion of the mantle and also of the crust. It is bounded by the atmosphere above and of the asthenosphere which is another part of the upper portion of the mantle.

What process is being used to break down macromoleucles? What happenes to the water during that process?
loris [4]
The process which is the breaking down of macromolecules is called Hydrolysis (the breaking of a bond in a molecule using water) This means that polymers are broken down into monomers. This literally means ‘Split water’ and a reaction between an ion and the water molecule is used during used during the breakdown.

The description of a cell's energy process is listed below.
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

The correct answer is c aerobic respiration

Explanation:

The process glycolysis,TCA cycle and electron transport chain are additionally called Aerobic respiration.

              Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm and deals with the catabolism or break down of glucose in a sequence of enzyme catalyzed steps to form pyruvate and ATP.

          TCA cycle occurs in Mitocondria.This metabolic process helps in the formataion of ATP along with the  oxidation of glucose to generate CO2 and H2O.

How does a diversity of organisms increase the chances that some will survive a major change in environment ?
Slav-nsk [51]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

This can be explained with an example.

Let’s lake an example of two species 1 and 2.

Species 1 has a wide genetic diversity due to which organism are also diverse in phenotype. Their phenotype are:  

Black, dark brown, brown, dark red, red, light red, pink, skin color.

From left to right organism are becoming less adapted to high temperature relatively.

For species 2:  This species has less genetic diversity and its phenotypic diversity is as follow:

Black, red, Skin color.

From left to right organism are becoming less adapted to high temperature relatively.

Now if there is the sudden high temperature in the environment; 4 Types of phenotype will survive are black, dark brown, brown, dark red.

While there will only two types of organism in specie 2 which will survive are black, red.

So that’s how the diversity of organisms increase the chances that some will survive a major change in environment.

What is the difference between a bony fish and a cartilaginous fish?
blondinia [14]
Bony fish belong to Class Osteichthyes, while cartilaginous fish belong to Class Chondrichthyes. Bony fish have a bony skeleton, while cartilaginous fish have one composed mostly of cartilage. Bony fish have body coverings of scales, while cartilaginous fish are covered with dendritical projections (think shark skin).
Bony fish are found in fresh and salt water; cartilaginous fish are found only in salt water. Bony fish have gills covered by an operculum; cartilaginous fish have gill slits. Bony have no eyelids; the cartilaginous fish do. Bony fish have an air-filled swim bladder; cartilaginous fish have an oil-filled liver to keep them bouyant. Hope this helps! Whew!
