how many kilometers will the pacific plate travel in 1 million years
Answer:
The Pacific plate travels approximately 107 km in a million year.
Explanation:
Modern Spreading Rate (R) = distance the seafloor moved in km (d) / age in million years (t)
R = d/t
To calculate it in millimeters per year we need to convert it:
1 km = 1000 m
1 m = 100 cm
1km = 100,000 cm
We know by the theory that the Pacific plates might be moving approximately between 10.6 - 10.75 cm/year. So, we might say that it moves 10.7 cm/year. So,
The Pacific plate moves 10.7 cm in one year
1 year-------------------------------- 10.7 cm
1,000,000 years ----------------- X = 10700000 cm
100,000 cm -------------- 1 km
10700000 cm -----------X = 107 km.
The Pacific plate moves approximately 107 km/my.

Explanation:
Which of the following characteristics do eukaryotic cells have that prokaryotic cells do not have?
a nucleoid
organelles
a plasma membrane
a cell wall
Answer:
Organelle
Explanation:
The nucleoid is only present in the prokaryotic cell so it's not the correct option
Organelles, membrane bound organelles are only found in eukaryotic cells, hence this is the correct answer
The plasma membrane surrounds both types of cells
The cell wall can be present in both types of cells
Which of these is a characteristic of index fossils? (7 points) a Found in the topmost rock layer b Found in many layers of the same rock c Have already established relative age d Are limited to a particular geographic location
Answer:
it is in fact relative age
Explanation:
Have already established relative age is a characteristic of index fossils.
What do you mean by index fossils?
Index fossils are fossils used to define and identify geologic periods. Index fossils must have a short vertical range, wide geographic distribution and rapid evolutionary trends.
A good index fossil is one with four characteristics: it is distinctive, widespread, abundant, and limited in geologic time. Because most fossil-bearing rocks formed in the ocean, the major index fossils are marine organisms.
Index fossils are the preserved remains of specific species found in the strata of sedimentary rock. They are easily recognized by shape and lived for either a short period of time, geologically speaking, or completely vanished from the Earth in a known extinction event.

What is the relationship between the distribution of coral polyps and the population
density of plankton in the water?
a. Coral polyp distribution is independent of plankton density because they live in different geographical locations.
b. If there is a high density of plankton in the water, then there will be a high coral polyp distribution.
c. If there is a high density of plankton in the water then there will be a low coral polyp
distribution.
d. The relationship between coral polyp distribution and plankton density is limited because they have different food sources.
Answer:
Coral polyps and zooxanthellae algae live in a symbiotic relationship to create coral reefs. The polyps give shelter to the algae while the algae create food for the polyp by photosynthesis. Therefore, the higher the density of phytoplankton, the higher the density of coral polyps.

Answer:
The answer should be A. lithosphere.
Explanation:
Firstly, let's look at the options:
C. and D, both parts of the Earth at the core, have almost nothing to do with the Earth's crust or tectonic plates except maybe having a passive effect on them.
B. mantle is where the lava that moves the tectonic plates circulates due to convection, which is the reason they move at all. But, it is not where the tectonic plates themselves are.
Therefore, finally, we have A as the answer.
(As a sidenote, the "lithosphere" means the Earth's crust.)

Explain the ranking of the rate of photosynthesis in the basil plants caused by each light source
Explanation:
White light appears to be the most effective light for photosynthesis, but apart from white, red light is also effective. When white light is not used, red is more effective than its counterparts, most likely because red light has a long wavelength that allows it radiate more energy and heat than other color.

Some examples where you have seen a chemical change and the mass has stayed the same
If the frequency of the disorder in the population is 0.0070, what is the percentage of heterozygous carriers
Answer:
15.322 %
Explanation:
Supposing that this is a recessive disorder and the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium:
p² + 2pq + q² = 1, where
1- the genotypic frequency of the homo-zygous dominant allele is p²,
2- the genotypic frequency homo-zygous recessive allele is q², and
3- the genotypic frequency heterozygous allele is 2pq
Therefore:
q² = 0.007 >> q = √ 0.007 = 0,0836
p = 1 - q = 1 - 0,0836 = 0.9164
2pq = 2 x 0.9164 x 0,0836 = 0.15322 (or 15.322 %)

Explanation:
S. cerevisiae occurs in nature on ripe fruit. S. epidermidis naturally occurs on human skin. How do experimental results relate to the natural environment of each microbe?
Answer:
S. cerevisiae needs natural environment present on ripe fruit while S. epidermidis needs natural environment present on human skin.
Explanation:
S. cerevisiae occurs in nature on ripe fruit because the environment is suitable for them that provides food in the form of sugar while S. epidermidis naturally occurs on human skin because it needs wet and humid environment which is available on human body such as armpits. Due to the presence of suitable environmental condition, both S. cerevisiae and S. epidermidis are present on fruits and human skin respectively.
