Answer:

The theory of plate tectonics is what brings together continental drift and seafloor spreading. Plates are made of lithosphere topped with oceanic and/or continental crust. The plates are moved around on Earth's surface by seafloor spreading. Convection in the mantle drives seafloor spreading. Oceanic crust is created at mid-ocean ridges. The crust moves outward from the ridge over time. The crust may eventually sink into the mantle and be destroyed. If a continent sits on a plate with a mid-ocean ridge, the continent will be pushed along.

The theory of tectonic plates explains that large convectional currents occuring in the mantle(as a result of magma) are the reasons plates,and so continents,are moved. Note movement occurs in the boundary in between the plates.

What can you conclude is one disadvantage of the arrangement of glucose molecules that gives chitin and cellulose their strength

Lynna [10]

The correct answer is the option B) It does not allow for the accumulation of glycogen and, therefore, limits the organism's mobility.
Explanation:
In cellulose and chitin the arrangement of glycogen in in alternate arrangement that provides the support to the plants that makes it strong and the limits its mobility.
If plants lac their special arrangement of the glycogen in chitin and cellulose the water will flow in and it will not be stand upright.
Thus, the correct answer is option B) It does not allow for the accumulation of glycogen and, therefore, limits the organism's mobility.
