Answer:

Igneous rock are rocks that arise from the formation of magma, as this internal terrestrial magma cools it solidifies (within the crust) forming rocks of different sizes and structures, instead metamorphic rocks are rocks formed by the modification of other pre-existing ones in the interior of the Earth through a process called metamorphism.

On the other hand, sedimentary rock is the rock that is formed by mineral sedimentation, of different minerals of large or small diameter, which compared to igneous extrusive rock, this is the solidification of magma from the earth but in the earth's crust.

Explanation:

Magma is the material that forms rocks initially, but in a liquid state, which is found inside the Earth at extremely high temperatures. When the magma rises to the surface, it cools and solidifies (consolidation) forming igneous rocks that can be internal or external depending on whether they are inside or outside the Earth's crust. On the other hand, there are other processes where rocks are formed, but not initially or primarily, but from other rocks or other minerals such as sedimentation.

Give three instantaneous scale (time) examples of Earth's systems, two long-term scale (time) examples of Earth's sytems, and th
Goshia [24]

The Earth comprises many spheres of subsystems, which associate with each other to develop a composite and spontaneously changing system of the Earth. The processes taking place in the system of the Earth occurs on spatial scales changing from fractions of millimeters to thousands of kilometers, and on time scales, which varies from milliseconds to billions of years.  

The examples of instantaneous scales are a rotation of the Earth, breathing, an earthquake.  

The examples of long-term scales are making coal and plate tectonics.  

The system of the Earth is featured by various overlapping cycles in which matter is recycled again and again. The cycles involve interactions between multiple spheres and systems. The examples of cycles are rock cycle, day and night, and seasons.  

Volcanoes discharge a huge concentration of particulate matter into the atmosphere. These particles function as nuclei for the development of droplets of water (hydrosphere). The rainfall, that is, hydrosphere usually upsurges after an eruption, initiating growth of the plant (biosphere). Thus, volcanoes and volcanic activities are a good illustration of system interactions.

Okazaki fragments are formed on which strand?
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

The leading strand is continuously synthesized and is elongated during this process to expose the template that is used for the lagging strand (Okazaki fragments). During the process of DNA replication, DNA and RNA primers are removed from the lagging strand of DNA to allow Okazaki fragments to bind to.

What are some ways in which the structure of a compound influences its function?
Art [367]
 structure of a compound influences its function in many ways like we take example of phospholipid bilayer  1. The fact that the tails are hydrophobic means that they do not interact with water. When a bunch of phospholipids are floating around in water, they try to arrange themselves in a bilayer that shields the hydrophobic parts from water-based, or aqueous, surroundings.

2. The heads are hydrophilic and can then interact with water and other polar or charged substances on either side of the bilayer. The bilayer acts as a barrier that allows cells to maintain internal conditions that are different from external conditions, which is monumentally important for cells to operate properly. 

3. Phospholipids demonstrate the intersection of structure and function in another way, too. We already know that fatty acids can be saturated or unsaturated and that unsaturated fatty acids have bends in their chains. Those bends prevent fatty acids from packing close.

katrin [286]

Answer:

Plants are valuable since they provide our food, materials for shelter, and purify the air (photosynthesis).

Animals such like livestock, supply us with food, fiber and leather.

The Endangered species act can help a local economy because it helps to supply clean air and pure water. It also protects our natural supplies.
