How does gravity cause plates to move? Explain

Biology
2 answers:
notka56 [123]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The main driving force of plate tectonics is gravity. If a plate with oceanic lithosphere meets another plate, the dense oceanic lithosphere dives beneath the other plate and sinks into the mantle. The sinking oceanic lithosphere drags the rest of the tectonic plate and this is the main cause of plate motion. This process is called subduction.

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

El cuadro no está presente pero las diferencias principales entre células eucariotas y procariotas son:

Eucariotas:

Tienen núcleo

Tienen organelas

Tienen Vacuolas

Tienen Citoesqueleto

Tienen Cloroplastos

El ADN está asociado a proteínas

El ADN es lineal

Presentan mitocondrias

Presentan un sistema de endomembranas

Procariotas:

No tienen núcleo

No tienen vacuolas

No tienen cloroplastos

No tienen organelas

El ADN no está asociado a proteínas

El ADN es circular

Presenta mesosomas

Explanation:

Las células procariotas son más primitivas que las eucariotas, por ende, sus estructuras son más simples. Las células procariotas están en organismos unicelulares tales como las bacterias, mientras que las células eucariotas están en organismos unicelulares y pluricelulares como en plantas, animales, u hongos. La diferencia más notoria entre ambos tipos de células es la ausencia de núcleo en las procariotas haciendo que el ADN está disperso en el citoplasma mientras que en las células eucariotas, el ADN está dentro del núcleo celular.

Rna in cells differs from dna in that ___________________. select one:
irinina [24]
Hello! 

RNA in cells differs from DNA in that it is single-stranded and can fold up into a variety of structures.

RNA is the abbreviation for RiboNucleic Acid. It is a biological molecule that fulfills an important role by copying the information stored in the DNA (DeoxyriboNucleic Acid) and transporting it to the different proteins by folding into different shapes. Its name come from a Ribose molecule that is present in this single-stranded molecule.  

Viruses don't have DNA, only RNA. They only replicate in the host's cells by copying their own RNA information. 

Have a nice day!
