Dahasolnce [82]3 years ago

Oceanic lithosphere consists mainly of mafic crust and ultramafic mantle (peridotite) and is denser than continental lithosphere, for which the mantle is associated with crust made of felsic rocks. Oceanic lithosphere thickens as it ages and moves away from the mid-ocean ridge. This thickening occurs by conductive cooling, which converts hot asthenosphere into lithospheric mantle and causes the oceanic lithosphere to become increasingly thick and dense with age. In fact, oceanic lithosphere is a thermal boundary layer for the convection[9] in the mantle. The thickness of the mantle part of the oceanic lithosphere can be approximated as a thermal boundary layer that thickens as the square root of time.

Rapid water movement between the extracellular fluid and the intracellular fluid is termed as Fluid Shift

<h3>How does the fluid shift works and affect the body?</h3>

When bodily fluids transfer across the fluid compartments, fluid shifts happen. Hydrostatic pressure gradients and osmotic pressure gradients work together physiologically to cause this. Water will passively travel from one area to the next through a semipermeable barrier until the hydrostatic and osmotic pressure gradients are equal. Fluid changes can result from a variety of medical problems. Critical organs like the brain, heart, and kidneys are put at risk when fluid shifts out of the blood vessels (the intravascular compartment), the cells (the intracellular compartment), the interstitial space, the cells (the intracellular compartment), the intracellular space, the cells (the intracellular compartment), and the brain cells (the intracellular compartment). When fluid shifts into the brain cells, it can cause a stroke.

All of the cells in this potato plant have the same DNA. Which of these would best describe why the cells differentiate into dif
jok3333 [9.3K]

The correct answer is that different genes are expressed in different cells.  

The cellular differentiation is the process in developmental biology where a cell modifies from one kind of cell to another. Most generally the cells are modified to a more specialized kind. Differentiation takes place various times at the time of development of a multicellular species as it modifies from a basic zygote to a composite system of tissues and kinds of cells.
