Answer:

The rift valley formed when the crust pulled apart.

Explanation:

The Great Rift Valley in Africa formed when the crust pulled apart along a divergent margin.

  • Rift valley systems are produced within a continent at divergent margins within a plate.
  • The rifting system makes the earth in that region prone to frequent earthquakes as the continents continues pulling apart.
  • It results from the divergence of the Arabian plate and the Somalia/Nubian plate.
  • It is one of the longest rift valley systems on earth.

How do animal cells, Plant cells, freshwater protists, and
Romashka [77]

Answer:

Plant cells deal with osmosis by being enclosed in a cell wall.

Animal cells use active transport systems to deal with the problem of osmosis.

Fresh water protists have contractile vacuoles to deal with osmosis.

Many bacteria have cell wall to protect them from osmosis.

Explanation:

Plant cells have a rigid cell wall. If a plant cell is places in a place where the conditions are hypotonic, then the cell will tale up water by osmosis but the cell wall will prevent it from bursting. This condition is termed as the cell being 'turgid'.

As animal cells do not have the rigid cell wall, they use the mechanism of active transport system to stop the cell from bursting during osmosis. In this process, ions are moved out of the cell so that the pressure in the cell due to osmosis can be reduced.

Fresh water protists have a structure present in them called as the contractile vacuole. The contractile vacuole has the capability to remove any excess water from the cell as well storing water if there is not enough water.

Bacteria have peptidoglycan cell walls to prevent osmosis.

What is the theory of natural selection, and why does it occur in an organism? Give an example.
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

It occurs in organisms because an organism with a beneficial trait/mutation have a higher chnace of surviving compared to organisms that do not. So the organsims that do survive pass on their genes to the next generation, and the bext generation will pass on those genes to the generation after and so on. But all the organisms that do not possess a beneficial trait/mutations will not survive, therefore they cannot reproduce and pass on those genes to their offspring. This means that most of the population will posses that trait/mutation.

Example: Spotted moths camouflage with bark so they are seen by predators and eaten. Black moths are easily seen by predators and are eaten. Spotted moths then pass on their genes to the next generation of moths.
