D)Heat within Earth

Explanation:

The heat from within the earth is as a result of plate tectonics. Plates on the earth are driven by heat within the earth through convection currents.

  • Plate tectonics suggests that the earth are broken into slabs that moves on the weak and ductile material called asthenosphere.
  • Heat from within the earth causes the melting of asthenosphere.
  • The riding lithosphere which is cold will sink into the asthenoshpere.
  • Hot mantle materials will move to the surface thereby setting up a convection current.
  • Heat from within the earth rises to the surface due to plate movement.

why would having both polar and nonpolar properties in a protective boundary be advantageous for the cell?
Reika [66]

Explanation:

The polar nature of the membrane’s surface can attract polar molecules, where they can later be transported through various mechanisms. Also, the non-polar  region of the membrane allows for the movement of small non-polar molecules across the membrane’s interior, while preventing the movement of polar molecules, thus maintaining the cell’s composition of solutes and other substances by limiting their movement.

Further explanation:

Lipids are composed of fatty acids which form the hydrophobic tail and glycerol which forms the hydrophilic head; glycerol is a 3-Carbon alcohol which is water soluble, while the fatty acid tail is a long chain hydrocarbon (hydrogens attached to a carbon backbone) with up to 36 carbons. Their polarity or arrangement can give these non-polar macromolecules hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties i.e. they are amphiphilic. Via diffusion, small water molecules can move across the phospholipid bilayer acts as a semi-permeable membrane into the extracellular fluid or the cytoplasm which are both hydrophilic and contain large concentrations of polar water molecules or other water-soluble compounds.

Similarly via osmosis, the water passes through the membrane due to the difference in osmotic pressure on either side of the phospholipid bilayer, this means that the water moves from regions of high osmotic pressure/concentration to regions of low pressure/ concentration to a steady state.

Transmembrane proteins are embedded within the membrane from the extracellular fluid to the cytoplasm, and are sometimes attached to glycoproteins (proteins attached to carbohydrates) which function as cell surface markers. Carrier proteins and channel proteins are the two major classes of membrane transport proteins; these allow large molecules called solutes (including essential biomolecules) to cross the membrane.

The data given are 
            melting point            density 
<span>Zinc        419.53 oC              7.134
Nickel      1455oC                 8.912
Copper  1084.62oC              8.96
Silver        961.78oC           10.501
Gold        1064.18oC          19.282

density is the mass per unit volume. Melting point is determined by the intermolecular forces between particles in the solids.
We </span>have been asked to find which cube weighs the most 
density = mass/volume 
when volume is constant for all the metals, then density is directly proportional to mass. Therefore metal with highest density has the highest mass.
from the given metals, metal with highest density is Gold.
correct answer is Gold.
