Answer:

The continental plate is the  location where volcanoes form when the convection in the asthenosphere creates a column of material that rises until it reaches the crust.

Explanation:

Volcanoes form at the edges of Earth’s tectonic plates. When the continental plate moves over the oceanic plate, it causes the oceanic plate to descend into the mantle where some of it melts, and the molten material moves into the mantle above the plate and causes the mantle to melt.

This liquid rock, called magma, rises to the surface because it is less dense then the surrounding rock, a volcano forms when the magma reaches the surface of the Earth at the continental plate.

Suppose you coated the leaves of a plant with petroleum jelly. How would the plant's rate of transpiration be affected?
skelet666 [1.2K]
If we coated the leaves of a plant with petroleum jelly then the process of transpiration will be stopped. The stomata will be covered, and that will stop the plant from losing water, resulting in the wilting or death of the plant.

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

Multicellular eukaryotes evolved from unicellular prokaryotes by the process of endosymbiosis

All living beings have evolved from three groups of animals closely related with each other.Domains: Archaea,bacteria and eukarya.the archaea and bacteria are unicellular organism surrounded by single cell water and  and coiled stand of DNA. Eukaryotic cells are more complex and with a linear  strand of DNA which is in the nucleus. Actually mitochondria which had evolved from a free living bacterium which was swallowed by another cell. The host cell benefited from the chemical energy that mitochondria produced and mitochondria in turn is benefited to be inside the protected environment. Mitochondria is the main organelle which the multicellular eukaryotes with unicellular prokaryotes.

Complement proteins and antibodies coat a microorganism and provide binding sites, enabling macrophages and neutrophils to phago
Lera25 [3.4K]

Opsonization.

Explanation:

  • Complement proteins and antibodies coat a microorganism and provide binding sites, enabling macrophages and neutrophils to phagocytize the organism. This phenomenon is termed opsonization.

Opsonization occurs as a result of binding of a molecule called opsonin to the epitope of a pathogen.

Opsonization helps the immune system to select and kill the infected cells instead of targeting all the cells in general.
