Answer:

Options (C) and (D)

Explanation:

The oceanic crust is usually about 5-10 km thick and is comprised of rocks that are basaltic in nature. These rocks are primarily made of minerals such as iron (Mg) and magnesium (Mg) and a comparatively lesser amount of silicate materials. Much of the oceanic rocks are destroyed due to the constant plate tectonic movement. It has been found that the oldest oceanic rocks found on the earth's crust is about 180 million years old only. The new oceanic crust often forms along the mid-oceanic ridge in a divergent type of plate motion, where new materials are added to the crust. Those rocks that are present along the mid-oceanic ridge are the younger rocks and those that are away are the oldest rocks. These oceanic crust are comprised of the volcanoes that form adjacent to the convergent plate boundary.

Thus, the correct answer is options (C) and (D). Brainelst please

How is the energy produced by respiration stored? and where is it stored?
emmainna [20.7K]
Energy stored by respiration is stored via the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP releases this energy when its phosphate bond is broken, producing ADP and a phosphate group as byproducts. ATP is stored within the cell cytoplasm and is abundant in muscle cells due to its high demand in them.

Describe the process of creating an animal clone.
Elodia [21]

Answer:

How are animals cloned? In reproductive cloning, researchers remove a mature somatic cell, such as a skin cell, from an animal that they wish to copy. They then transfer the DNA of the donor animal's somatic cell into an egg cell, or oocyte, that has had its own DNA-containing nucleus removed.

What is made when a sperm cell combines with the polar nuclei?
balandron [24]

Answer:

Explanation:Two of the nuclei (the polar nuclei) move to the center of the embryo sac and fuse together, forming a single, diploid central cell. This central cell later fuses with a sperm to form the triploid endosperm, which will ultimately provide nourishment for the developing embryo (analogous to yolk in animal eggs).
