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

Proteoglycans are a group of macromolecules formed from: a. proteins and glycosaminoglycans. b. proteases and glycosaminoglycans
Marianna [84]

Answer:

Proteins and polysaccharides.

Explanation:

Proteoglycans are heavily glycosylated proteins. These proteoglycans are present in the extracellular matrix of the animal cells and acts as a lubricant for the cells.

Proteoglycans are proteins that are covalently bonded with muco polysaccharidse. Proteoglycans are formed by the bonding between proteins and carbohydrates ( polysaccharides). Proteoglycans can combine with collagen to form cartilage and may affect the stability of a protein.

Thus, the correct answer is option (E).

Explain the following statement: "Selection occurs within
True [87]

Answer: Selection occurs within generations; evolution occurs between generations. All four of Darwin's postulates are true for the medium ground finch population on Daphne Major. Darwin's theory therefore predicts a change in the composition of the population from one generation to the next. In biology, evolution is the change in the inherited traits of a population from generation to generation. ... Natural selection is a process that causes heritable traits that are helpful for survival and reproduction to become more common, and harmful traits to become more rare.
