The monomer units of the carbohydrates vary in their total numbers extensively. Moreover, positions of the carbonyl groups along with the orientation of the hydroxyl groups also vary in the carbohydrates' monomers. The presence of any modification is also variable.
On the other hand, the nucleic acids have only 4 monomeric units. The linkages between the nucleic acid residues have less geometry than the glycosidic linkages.
Answer:
In the 1960s, scientists found evidence that new material is indeed erupting along mid-ocean ridges. The scientists dived to the ocean floor in Alvin, a small submarine built to withstand the crushing pressures four kilometers down in the ocean. In a ridge’s central valley, Alvin’s crew found strange rocks shaped like pillows or like toothpaste squeezed from a tube. Such rocks form only when molten material hardens quickly after erupting under water. These rocks showed that molten material has erupted again and again along the mid-ocean ridge.
When scientists studied patterns in the rocks of the ocean floor, they found more support for sea-floor spreading. You read earlier that Earth behaves like a giant magnet, with a north pole and a south pole. Surprisingly, Earth’s magnetic poles have reversed themselves many times during Earth’s history. The last reversal happened 780,000 years ago. If the magnetic poles suddenly reversed themselves today, you would find that your compass needle points south.
Explanation:
I found this somewhere.
Yes, because even though other trees produce more oxygen, the small trees will still produce some oxygen. On top of this there are more small trees than big trees, so even though they make less oxygen, in whole they end up making more when added together!
Tectonic plates float on amass of melted lava. its very hot and produces gases. these gases tend to move the plates with the compression becomes very high and the gases do not find an exit.the other reason is the plates themselves tend to move. because of the temprature gradient. the plates are hotter on the lower side which forces the plates to move up. and they are colder on the outside,which forces the plates to move downward..this is the other reason why the plates move
