- What is the ultimate process that moves the tectonic plates?

Biology
1 answer:
stellarik [79]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

I would say B - Convection

Explanation:

it is volcanos and earthquakes that move the tectonic plates... but those act like convection currents...

-Solar Winds come from the Sun and they are reflected off of Earth's magnetic shield so that can't be correct.

-Gravitation does play a role yes but I can not say that it actually causes it... (Gravity holds everything in orbit and also together... and it helps keep things on Earths surface -it is the reason why we can still breath-)

-Unknown - Still Investigating, The reason why the tectonic plates move "was" discovered... or at least it is believed to have been. But I do not doubt that they are still studying it... because they probably are still investigating

-The convection currents move the plates. Where convection currents diverge near the Earth's crust, plates move apart. Where convection currents converge, plates move towards each other.

I have a nice day and I hope it helps!

Calculate the mass of a liquid with a density of 3 g/mL and a volume of 20 mL.
yawa3891 [41]

Given that,

Density of the liquid, d = 3 g/ml

Volume, V = 20 mL

To find,

The mass of the liquid.

Solution,

The density of an object is given by its mass divided by volume such that,

d = m/V

m is mass

m = d×V

Put all the values,

m = 3 g/mL × 20 mL

= 60 grams

Hence, the mass of a liquid is 60 grams.

What chemical process provides us with the energy required for active transport?
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

Primary active transport directly uses a source of chemical energy (e.g., ATP) to move molecules across a membrane against their gradient.

A group of cells is assayed for DNA content immediately following mitosis and is found to have an average of 4 picograms of DNA
damaskus [11]

Answer:

b: 8;8

Explanation:

Mitotic or meiotic cell division constitute the m phase of the cell cycle. At the end of the m phase, the new cells enter the interphase stage of the cell cycle. The interphase is further sub-divided into;

  • <em>the G_0 phase,</em>
  • <em>the G_1 phase,</em>
  • <em>the S phase; and</em>
  • <em>the G_2 phase</em>.

The G_0 phase is essentially a resting phase. Cells that do not need to divide except when necessary move into this phase after exiting the m phase.

Actively dividing cells enter the G_1 phase after exiting the m phase. Cell development and growth takes place. From there, the cells enter the S phase where DNA replication/synthesis takes place. The cells then enter the G_2 phase where proteins are synthesized in preparation for division or m phase.

At the S phase, the amount of DNA a cell carries is doubled but the chromosome number remains the same. For example, if a cell enters the S phase with 2 g of DNA containing 10 chromosomes, at the end of S phase, the amount of DNA would have come 4 g while the number of chromosomes will remain 10.

Hence, if the average amount of DNA in the assayed cells immediately after mitosis is 4 picograms, the amount would be 8 picograms at the end of S phase and will still remains 8 picograms at the end of G_2 phase.

The correct option is b.
