What happens when plates meet? (4 complete sentences minimum)

Answer:

If two tectonic plates collide, they form a convergent plate boundary. Usually, one amongst the converging plates will move beneath the opposite, a process called subduction. ... The new magma (molten rock) rises and will erupt violently to make volcanoes, often building arcs of islands along the convergent boundary. When two plates are moving far from one another, we call this a divergent plate boundary. Along these boundaries, magma rises from deep within the world and erupts to make new crust on the lithosphere. Most divergent plate boundaries are underwater and form submarine mountain ranges called oceanic spreading ridges. While the method of forming these mountain ranges is volcanic, volcanoes and earthquakes along oceanic spreading ridges aren't as violent as they're at convergent plate boundaries.

Why is the alignment/arrangement of the sun, Earth, and moon, important to tides?

Eddi Din [679]

Why is the alignment/arrangement of the sun, Earth, and moon, important to tides?

Alignment of the sun, earth, & moon are important because the moon moves farther each day as it moves round the earth. & the tides caused by the moon, move after about an hour after the tides that are caused by the suns gravity.

Which describes the process of fermentation?

pav-90 [236]

Explanation:

<u>anaerobic process that restores NAD+ supply</u>

<u></u>

Within cells, aerobic respiration may not occur due to several factors:

- a lack of inorganic, final electron acceptors
-incomplete or lack of a complete electron transport system
-missing genes for enzymes within the Kreb's cycle

Thus, they utilize other means for the generation of energy in the form of ATP and to replenish NAD+ an oxidized form of NADH, the main electron carrier in glycolysis. Pyruvate is produced in the cytoplasm via glycolysis- it is also used as an electron acceptor in a process called fermentation.

Further Explanation:

overall: C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ≈38 ATP

In all eukaryotic cells mitochondria are small cellular organelles bound by membranes, these make most of the chemical energy required for powering the biochemical reactions within the cell. This chemical energy is stored within the molecule ATP which is produced. Respiration in the mitochondria utilizes oxygen for the production of ATP in the Krebs’ or Citric acid cycle via the oxidization of pyruvate( through the process of glycolysis in the cytoplasm).

Oxidative phosphorylation describes a process in which the NADH and FADH2 made in previous steps of respiration process give up electrons in the electron transport chain these are converted it to their previous forms, NADH+ and FAD. Electrons continue to move down the chain the energy they release is used in pumping protons out of the matrix of the mitochondria.

This forms a gradient where there is a differential in the number of protons on either side of the membrane the protons flow or re-enter the matrix through the enzyme ATP synthase, which makes the energy storage molecules of ATP from the reduction of ADP. At the end of the electron transport, three molecules of oxygen accept electrons and protons to form molecules of water...

Glycolysis: occurs in the cytoplasm 2 molecules of ATP are used to cleave glucose into 2 pyruvates, 4 ATP and 2 electron carrying NADH molecules. (2 ATP are utilized for a net ATP of 2)
The Citric acid or Kreb's cycle: in the mitochondrial matrix- 6 molecules of CO2 are produced by combining oxygen and the carbon within pyruvate, 2 ATP oxygen molecules, 8 NADH and 2 FADH2.
The electron transport chain, ETC: in the inner mitochondrial membrane, 34 ATP, electrons combine with H+ split from 10 NADH, 4 FADH2, renewing the number of electron acceptors and 3 oxygen; this forms 6 H2O, 10 NAD+, 4 FAD.

Which method involves breeding animals in a controlled environment? a. inbreeding b. captive breeding c. outbreeding d. crossbre

zhannawk [14.2K]

The answer is captive breeding.

Captive breeding involves breeding animals in a controlled environment.

What is captive breeding?

The technique of keeping plants or animals in confined spaces, such as zoos, botanical gardens, and other conservation facilities, is known as captive breeding, sometimes known as captive propagation. It is occasionally used to support species that are under threat from human activities including climate change, habitat loss, fragmentation, excessive fishing or hunting, pollution, predation, illness, and parasitism.

Relatively little is known about the circumstances necessary for effective breeding in many species. The success of a captive breeding program may depend on knowledge of a species' reproductive biology. Captive breeding programs have the potential to preserve some species from extinction, but they depend on a variety of criteria, including genetic, ecological, behavioral, and ethical considerations.
