What are the three plate boundary types and the two types of crust?

Biology
1 answer:
Aleonysh [2.5K]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Convergent boundaries: where two plates are colliding. Subduction zones occur when one or both of the tectonic plates are composed of oceanic crust.

Divergent boundaries – where two plates are moving apart.

Transform boundaries – where plates slide passed each other.

Explanation:

Oceanic

Earth's crust is divided into two types: oceanic crust and continental crust. The transition zone between these two types of crust is sometimes called the Conrad discontinuity. Silicates (mostly compounds made of silicon and oxygen) are the most abundant rocks and minerals in both oceanic and continental crust.

A Paramecium has an internal sucrose concentration of 0.040 M, a glucose concentration of 0.035 M, and a fructose concentration
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

<u>c. Sucrose and glucose</u>

Explanation:

The paramecium is a large, single-celled microbes, surrounded by a plasma membrane. Simple diffusion occurs in cells across plasma membranes, as a form of passive transport. In diffusion, solutes move from regions of high concentration to regions of low concentration across the plasma membrane.

Here, the internal environment has higher concentrations of sucrose and glucose, but lower concentrations of fructose, thus the solutes will move along their concentration gradient, to where the concentrations are lower. In order for the fructose molecules to move out of the cell, the molecules have to move against their concentration gradient - a process requiring energy known as active transport.

Why do males typically have a higher basal metabolic rate compared to females?
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

Explanation:

BMR or basal metabolic rate can be define as the rate of expenditure of available energy when the body is in rest to keep the vital functions active such as breathing and circulation.

Males typically have higher BMR than females because they tend to have higher proportion of lean body mass as compared to females. The females as compared to males exhibit more amount of fat cells. The metabolism of fat cells is slow.

Why aren't organisms on the seafloor crushed by water pressure?
fiasKO [112]

Answer: The deep-sea organisms found today have undergone evolution in the past and are very complex now because their body structure also varies from that of the organisms that are present at a lower depth.

The bodies of these organism does not contain any air cavities in which the pressure could exert. It is because of this, the organism are quite solid without any air in their bodies, thereby they can withstand extreme high pressure.
