Answer:

The plates can be thought of like pieces of a cracked shell that rest on the hot, molten rock of Earth's mantle and fit snugly against one another. The heat from radioactive processes within the planet's interior causes the plates to move, sometimes toward and sometimes away from each other

The hydrogen ion concentration of a solution is indicated by its<br> ___ value.
rosijanka [135]

The hydrogen ion concentration of a solution is indicated by its <u>pH </u>value.

Explanation:

  • A measure of acidity or alkalinity of water soluble substances (pH stands for 'potential of Hydrogen'). A pH value is a number from 1 to 14, with 7 as the middle point.
  • Under normal circumstances this means that the concentration of hydrogen ions in acidic solution can be taken to be equal to the concentration of the acid.
  • The pH is then equal to minus the logarithm of the concentration value.
  • Values below 7 indicate acidity which increases as the number decreases, 1 being the most acidic.
  • The pH of a solution is a measure of hydrogen ion concentration, which in turn is a measure of its acidity.
  • Pure water dissociates slightly into equal concentrations of hydrogen and hydroxyl (OH−) ions. For a neutral solution, [H+] is 10−7, or pH = 7.

Which molocule is used to cut out a section of dna
pshichka [43]

Answer:

Restriction enzymes (endonucleases) are used to cut the DNA into fragements.

Explanation

Restriction enzymes are obatained from bacteria where they are utilized by bacteria for protection against viruses. Restriction enzymes are used in biotechnology research. There are several restriction enzymes and each cut the DNA at specific site known as recognition site which is usually 4-8 neucleotide long. They produce sticky ends (cutting the both DNA strand on different site) and blunt ends (cutting the both DNA strand on same site) on DNA fragments.
