<h3>Answer;</h3>

B. The oldest crust is closest to the mid-ocean ridge.

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

Seafloor spreading refers to the process by which new oceanic crust forms along a mid-ocean ridge and older oceanic crust moves away from the ridge. 
Seafloor spreading occurs at the mid-oceanic ridge where the divergent boundaries cause two plates to move away from each other resulting to the spreading of the sea floor.
As the divergent plates move apart, new materials wells up and then cools at the edge of the plates. Seafloor spreading is important as it helps explain the continental drift in support of the theory of plate tectonics.

What condition is required for fermentation to occur? A. When oxygen levels within a cell are too low for aerobic respiration B.

Leokris [45]

Answer:

A. When oxygen levels within a cell are too low for aerobic respiration

Explanation:

Fermentation is a chemical or metabolic process that occurs in organism, when a carbohydrate such as glucose is metabolized or converted to an alcohol anaerobically (absence of oxygen).

When an organism lacks oxygen within the cell, aerobic respiration would be halted, hence pyruvate produced from glucose further undergoes fermentation anaerobically.

Organisms like lactic acid bacteria and yeast carry out fermentation. The process of fermentation is widely used in food industries, such as in brewing of wine or manufacture of yogurt.

pashok25 [27]

As the human population increases, stressors are being placed on the environment. Decreases in availability of natural resources is one consequence of this growth.

Population- A population is the total number all organisms belonging to the identical species that really are present in a given location at the same time and have the potential to interbreed. Individuals need to be able which can mate with other members of a population and give birth to viable children for interbreeding to take place.

Natural Resources- Without human assistance, natural resources are present on planet. We can get water, wood, food, and energy from natural resources. Without natural resources, life is not conceivable. Oil, coal, natural gas, metals, stone, and sand are examples of natural resources.

He fluid mosaic model of the plasma membrane. The fluid mosaic model of the plasma membrane describes the plasma membrane as a fluid combination of phospholipids, cholesterol, and proteins. Carbohydrates attached to lipids (glycolipids) and to proteins (glycoproteins) extend from the outward-facing surface of the membrane.
