What is the reason for continental drift?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Wegener suggested that perhaps the rotation of the Earth caused the continents to shift towards and apart from each other. (It doesn't.) Today, we know that the continents rest on massive slabs of rock called tectonic plates. The plates are always moving and interacting in a process called plate tectonics.

It is entirely dependent on humans, and it no longer lives in the wild. Silkworms eat mulberry leaves, and are native to northern China.

How are food webs different to food chains? Explain why foodwebs are more useful

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

A food chain is different because it shows what organisms eat in a straight line, in a chain. For example, a bird of prey can eat a snake that previously had eaten a frog and the frog ate a grasshopper and so on. But this tells us very little. A foodweb will tell us how all those animals are connected and what they eat in a web, not just a line.

What type of contraction, concentric or eccentric, would cause more fatigue to occur in a muscle? Why?

Answers

Answer:

concentric

Explanation:

Eccentric contractions are lengthening movements of your muscles. During this muscle movement, your muscle fibers are stretched under tension from a force greater than the muscle generates. Unlike a concentric contraction, eccentric movements do not pull a joint in the direction of a muscle contraction.

Answer:

Eccentric contractions have recently shown to be caused greater low- frequency fatigue than concentric. This is because size of fall in the force from eccentric contractions carry out on fresh muscle is signifgantly larger. Explanation:

Answers

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of carabaos = 40

Area of the place = 4m²

Unknown:

Population density  = ?

Solution:

The population density of the place is the number of organisms per square km.

 Mathematically;

       Population density  = [tex]\frac{number of Carabao}{Area}[/tex]  

   Population density  = [tex]\frac{40}{4}[/tex]   = 10carabaos/m²

Which of the following is one of the ways that cellular respiration and photosynthesis are opposite processes?

A.)Photosynthesis releases energy, and cellular respiration stores energy
B.)Photosynthesis removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and cellular respiration puts it back.
c.)Photosynthesis removes oxygen from the atmosphere, and cellular respiration puts it back,
d.) Photosynthesis consumes glucose, and cellular respiration produces glucose.

Answers

Answer:

B.)Photosynthesis removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and cellular respiration puts it back.

Explanation:

One of the ways in which photosynthesis differs from respiration is that photosynthesis removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and cellular respiration puts it back.

Photosynthesis is the process whereby green plants manufacture their food in the presence of sunlight using carbon dioxide and water. The product is usually glucose and oxygen. Respiration breaks down energy rich compounds into ATP, carbon dioxide and water.
