Answer:

Theory of Plate tectonics: states that the Earth's solid outer crust, the lithosphere, is separated into plates that move over the asthenosphere

Lithosphere: the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle.

Convection currents: occur when a heated fluid expands, becoming less dense, and rises

Seafloor spreading: the formation of new areas of oceanic crust, which occurs through the upwelling of magma at mid-ocean ridges and its subsequent outward movement on either side.

Paleomagnetic: is the study of the record of the Earth's magnetic field in rocks, sediment, or archeological materials.

Divergent boundary: occurs when two tectonic plates move away from each other.

Convergent boundary: is an area on Earth where two or more lithospheric plates collide.

Rift valley: A rift valley is a linear-shaped lowland between several highlands or mountain ranges created by the action of a geologic rift or fault.

Transform fault boundary: A transform fault or transform boundary is a fault along a plate boundary where the motion is predominantly horizontal.

Subduction zone: is a region of the Earth's crust where tectonic plates meet.

Trench: Trenches are long, narrow depressions on the seafloor that form at the boundary of tectonic plates where one plate is pushed, or subducts, beneath another.

Continental-oceanic convergence: When two plates come towards each other they create a convergent plate boundary. The plates can meet where both have oceanic crust or both have continental crust, or they can meet where one has oceanic and one has continental.

Continental-continental convergence: So when two continental plates collide, they just smash together. When two plates of continental crust collide, the material pushes upward. This forms a high mountain range. The remnants of subducted oceanic crust remain beneath the continental convergence zone.

I found a similar question. If the attached document is the same as your supposed question, then my answer are below.

AV valves open - atrial pressure is greater than ventricular pressure

AV valves closed - Ventricular pressure rises above atrial pressure

Semilunar valves closed - ventricular pressure is lower than arterial pressure

Semilunar valves open - pressure in the ventricles is greater than the pressure in the great arteries

What are ribosomes? What do they do.

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

Function. Ribosomes are minute particles consisting of RNA and associated proteins that function to synthesize proteins. Proteins are needed for many cellular functions such as repairing damage or directing chemical processes. Ribosomes can be found floating within the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum

In which cellular organelle do the three posttranscriptional modifications often seen in the maturation of mrna in eukaryotes oc

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Nucleus

Explanation:

Eukaryotic RNAs are synthesized in the form of precursors that will have to undergo a modification process in order to be functional. Prokaryotic mRNAs do not need to be modified after being synthesized and are linear with respect to the gene from which they were synthesized. That is, they are completely complementary. As for the prokaryotic rRNA and tRNA, the modifications they suffer are simple because they have to do with the cuts that the long precursor will suffer in which both species are included. However, eukaryotic mRNA, rRNA and tRNA, which are synthesized in the cell nucleus and nucleolus and subsequently used in the cytoplasm, need to undergo much more complex modification processes, not only to be functional but to be able to pass through the small nuclear pores to the cytoplasm. The objective of this conference is precisely to describe these post-transcriptional modification processes.

Modification at the 5 'or Cap 5' end

The 5 'end of the mRNA is modified in the eukaryotic nucleus (but not in the mitochondria or chloroplasts). Modification reactions are probably common in all eukaryotes. Transcription begins with a nucleoside triphosphate (almost always a purine, A or G). The first nucleotide retains its 5 'triphosphate group and forms the usual phosphodiester bond from its 3' position to the 5 'position of the next nucleotide.

Modification of the 3 'end or Poly Tail (A)

Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a polyadenyl acid sequence at the 3 'end. This terminal stretch of waste A is often described as Poly (A) tail and the mRNA with these characteristics is called poly (A) +. The poly (A) sequence is not encoded in the DNA, but is added to the RNA in the nucleus after transcription. The addition of poly (A) is catalyzed by the enzyme poly (A) polymerase, which adds ~ 200 residues of A to the free 3'-OH end of the mRNA.

Nuclear splicing

Splicing occurs in the nucleus, along with the other modifications that the newly synthesized RNA undergoes. The transcript obtains its cap at the 5 'end, loses its introns and is polyadenylated at the 3' end. Then the RNA is transported through the nuclear pores to the cytoplasm where it will be available for translation.
