Please help!! Can you figure out the modern spreading rate of the Mid- Atlantic ridge? Use that line to figure out how many kilo

meters a plate moved from the spreading boundary in a set number of years. Convert that rate to the distance a point moves in just one year, rounding your answer to the nearest millimeter.

Answer:

R = 16mm/y  

Explanation:

Modern Spreading Rate (R) = distance the seafloor moved in km (d) / age in million years (t)

R = d/t  

To calculate it in millimeters per year we need to convert it:

<em>1 km = 1000 m  </em>

<em>1 m = 100 cm </em>

<em>1cm = 10mm </em>

<em>1 km = 1,000,000 mm   </em>

The problem states that in 150 million years, there is a distance of 2400 km.

if 1 km ------- 1,000,000 mm

2400 km-------X = 2400,000,000 mm

If 1 million years -------1,000,000 years

150 my----X = 150,000,000 years

R = d/t

R = 2400,000,000 mm/150,000,000 y.

R = 16mm/y

Class ii mhc proteins are found on which of the following cell types?
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

The answer to the question: Class II MHC proteins are found on which of the following cell types, would be: on macrophages and lymphocytes, particularly T-Cells.

Explanation:

MHC, or Major histocompatibility complex, is a very important part of the immune response that the body gives against an invading pathogen, or other foreign substances. There are three types in the human body, Class I, Class II and Class III and each of them will play a role on the cellular membrance of different types of cells and mediate different types of responses. In the human body, this histocompatibility complex is best known as HLA, or human leukocyte antigen, and it will ensure the recognition, or non-recognition of substances, tissues, and other organisms, by the human immune system. Class II, as mentioned before, are most usually found on the immune cells macrophages and lymphocytes, and they are the ones responsible for presenting antigens to these proteinic antibodies so that the immune cells can initiate a proper immune response.
