Answer:

The correct answer would be A. crust.

The crust is the outermost layer of the earth which is composed of different types of rocks such as sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rocks.

It is completely solid and can be broadly classified into two types: continental crust and oceanic crust.

The thickness of the oceanic crust is about 5 km to 10 km. It is primarily composed of basalt, gabbro, and diabase.

The thickness of the continental crust is around 30 km to 50 km.  

The crust forms lithosphere along with hard and upper mantle.

If the concentration of salt in the fluid surrounding cells decreases and the concentration of other solutes remains constant?
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

The cell will swell.

Explanation:

The cells react distinctly when placed in different solutions like hypertonic, isotonic and hypotonic solutions. In the mentioned question, that is, in the fluid surrounding the cells, the concentration of salt reduces, which makes the solution hypotonic. Hypotonic solution exhibit high water potential and low solute concentration.  

This makes the water move from the hypotonic solution to the inside of the cell as the osmotic movement occurs from high solvent concentration to low solvent concentration, thus, swelling of the cell takes place.

3b. Use an arrow to show the path that takes water through a plant. Include and label all
Masja [62]

Answer:

Roots---xylem vessel-- upper parts of plant.

Explanation:

The plant absorb water from hairs present on the roots and taken this water to the xylem vessel that is responsible for transporting water to all parts of the plant body. Water enters in the root through a process is called osmosis until it reached to the xylem vessel. Osmosis is a movement of molecules through a semi-permeable membrane into a region of higher solute concentration in order to equalize the solute concentration.

What happens to salinity if the rate of evaporation is greater than precipitation? Why?​
malfutka [58]

Answer:

Answer:

Explanation:

What happens when water's salinity increases?

A combination of high salinity and low temperature makes seawater so dense that it sinks to the bottom of the ocean and flows across ocean basins as deep, slow currents.

What happens to local salinity when evaporation rates increase?

Salinity is the saltiness of seawater. Salinity is measured by the concentration of grams of salt per kilogram of water. ... What happens to local salinity when evaporation rates increase: Rises 5.

How is salinity related to evaporation and precipitation?

Evaporation of ocean water and formation of sea ice both increase the salinity of the ocean. However these "salinity raising" factors are continually counterbalanced by processes that decrease salinity such as the continuous input of fresh water from rivers, precipitation of rain and snow, and melting of ice.

Write the formula that shows the release of energy by the mitochondria
Pie

Answer:

Mitochondria is the organelle where cellular respiration takes place. Cellular respiration can be described as a process in which oxygen and glucose are converted into carbon dioxide and water along with the release of ATP. This reaction can be written as:

Glucose + Oxygen → Carbon dioxide + Water + ATP molecules

C6H12O6 +   6O2→  6CO2 +  6H2O +  ATP

The ATP made can be broken down so that energy is released.

ATP + H2O → ADP + Pi + free energy
