Answer:C Earth's solid surface layer sits on a moving, semiliquid layer.

Explanation:

Earth is highly tectonically active because the solid layer of the earth sits on a moving, semi-liquid layer.

The earth's crust is broken into slabs. Together with part of the upper mantle, they form a layer called the lithosphere. These solid lithospheric bodies are called tectonic plates.

Answer: Peroxisome

Explanation:

A peroxisome is a membrane-bound organelle usually found in the cytoplasm of almost all eukaryotic cells. It is an oxidative organelle.

Eukaryotes are comprised of one or more cells that contain peroxisomes. The organelles were first discovered by the Belgian scientist Christian de Duve, who was same person that discovered lysosomes.

Peroxisomes contain a variety of enzymes, which primarily function together to get rid of toxic substances in the cell, and in particular, hydrogen peroxide which a common byproduct of cellular metabolism. These organelles contain enzymes that convert the hydrogen peroxide to water, making it remain safe in order to be released back into the cell. Some types of peroxisomes, such as those in liver cells, detoxify alcohol and several other harmful compounds by transferring hydrogen from the poisons to molecules of oxygen (known as oxidation). Other perixosomes are more important for their ability to initiate the production of phospholipids, which are typically used in the formation of membranes.
