What happens when oceanic crust collides with continental crust at plate boundary

Biology
1 answer:
Ne4ueva [31]3 years ago
5 0

Explanation:

When oceanic crust converges with continental crust, the denser oceanic plate plunges beneath the continental plate. This process, called subduction, occurs at the oceanic trenches. The entire region is known as a subduction zone. Subduction zones have a lot of intense earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

Answer:

C

Explanation:

This is placing a cell in hyper tonic solution.Therefore, the water potential of the cells is higher than the environment. Hence it lose water to the environment which has a  lower water potential, but higher solute potential.

Therefore the loss of fluid by the cell leads to shrinking of the cytosol and it containing organelles. Later the cells collapse.

<u>Spanish</u>

Esto es colocar las células en una solución hipertónica. Por lo tanto, el potencial hídrico de las células es mayor que el del medio ambiente. Por lo tanto, perder agua al medio ambiente reducirá el potencial hídrico, pero aumentará el potencial de soluto.

Por lo tanto, la pérdida de líquido por parte de la célula conduce a la contracción del citosol y que contiene orgánulos.

Which events take place in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis?
borishaifa [10]

The correct answer is : Light energy is captured by plants; light energy is converted to chemical energy.

In the process of photosynthesis, special pigment molecule called chlorophyll can capture the energy of the light, more specifically the photon. When a particle of light (a photon) with a specific energy reaches this pigment in the leaves of plants, the energy is transferred from the particle to the molecule, and the molecule becomes excited. This is the phase where the energy of the light is captured and transformed into chemical energy that can later be used to make sugars.

All of the later chemical processes that transfer the energy from the excited chlorophyll to the sugar molecules are not dependent on the light and can happen during the night as well.

sergeinik [125]

Answer:

option A

Explanation:

Cones provide colour vision while rods cells do not produce colour vision. Rods provide the vision in the dull light (darkness or night), whereas cones are known to give the vision during the day or bright light; Rod cells are more sensitive to light than cone cells and both do have visual pigments with the rod cells possessing rhodopsin and the cone cells having photo-opsins.
