Which information is needed to construct a geomagnetic time scale?

Biology
1 answer:
AleksAgata [21]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

the magnetic direction of rocks along the surface of Earth and the age of rocks along the surface of Earth

Explanation:

The earth's magnetic field or geomagnetic field is believed to originate from the movement of molten iron and nickel in the outer core.

During a period in which the earth magnetic field is normal, crystallising magnetic minerals in magma records the orientation of the prevailing geomagnetic field. At other times when the field reverses and the magnetic field orientation changes, magnetic minerals in cooling magma stores this record.

To create a geomagnetic time scale, geologists can assign absolute ages to the records of these paleomagnetic anomalies which are the reversals. The rock is dated using radiometric techniques and each period of reversal is ascribed an absolute geologic age. Therefore, the magnetic direction of rocks along the surface of Earth and the age of rocks along the surface of Earth helps to build the geomagnetic time scale of the earth.

almond37 [142]

Answer:

The cell theory developed most quickly due to the invention of the microscope. Robert Hooke was the first scientist who saw cells in cork. After this discovery, a wide numbered of researches were made and cell theory was developed. The basic cell theory explained that how every living thing was made up of cells. After this, a lot of additions have been made in the cell theory and today the cell theory is known to have five basic postulates.

Answer:

B. Bacteria that carry out decomposition

Explanation:

This is your answer because these don't produce anything. These are things that don't produce their own food, but they eat something else. One example on land can be Mushrooms.

So hence, your answer is only B. Bacteria that carry out decompositon

Plasmodesmata can change in number, and when dilated can provide a passageway macromolecules

Plasmodesmata are essential for the intercellular transfer of both big informational macromolecules like proteins and smaller signaling chemicals in plant cells.

  • Plasmodesmata are membrane-lined structures that offer a high-conductance, aqueous channel for the transportation of information in the form of chemicals and macromolecules, such as transcription factors, from cell to cell.
  • The intimate interaction of the plasma membrane with the endoplasmic reticulum results in the formation of plasmodesmata.
  • The degree to which a particular cell acts as an individual or as a component of the entire organism is determined by the distribution and unitary conductance of plasmodesmata as well as other positional variables that affect development.

Which of the following is not a macromolecule?
Sindrei [870]


The correct answer is a - Lipid

Lipids are not considered as macromolecules because unlike proteins, carbohydrates and nucleic acids which polymers, lipids are composed of a single unit made up a glycerol backbone to which two or three fatty acids are linked.

Lipids are not polymers made up of individual subunits called monomers. They contain only  one molecule and are not macromolecuels.

Examples of lipids include waxes, steroids, phospholipids and detergents. Lipids are generally hydrophobic and insoluble in water.
