Continental plates are formed primarily by convergent plate boundaries. These zones represent areas where oceanic plates are being forced under the continental plates. As they are subducted, they melt to form magma. This magma cools over millions of years, producing intrusive igneous rock and new continental crust.

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

The function of the central nervous system is to control all function of the body and mind and to integrate all sensory information received and and respond accordingly.

The central nervous system is made up of the brain and the spinal cord and its neurons.

The resting state of a neuron is  -70 mV (mV=millivolt) - which means that the inside of the neuron is 70 mV less than the outside of the neuron, therefore, at rest, there are relatively more sodium ions outside the neuron (which are negatively charged) and more potassium ions inside that neuron (Positive charge)

Animal cells have plasma membrane while plant cells have cell wall and cell membrane. A plant cell has 1 large vacuole while an animal cell has more than 1 vacuole which is smaller compared to the vacuoles of a plant cell. The vacuole of a plant cell is hypertonic because it takes up to 90% of the cells volume. A plant cell has chlorophyll or chloroplasts (which gives colors to plants), animal cells does not have chloroplasts. Cell division is also called mitosis (this term is used for both animal and plant cells, no difference on that). For plant cells, centrifugal division occurs, its starts in the middle going outwards creating the cell plate. For animal cells, division is centripetal that it comes from the outside going toward the center and that is called the cleavage furrow.
