This shows that the so called hot spots on the tectonic plates are moving along with the actual tectonic plate. Because volcanoes form on hot spots, the most chain of active and non active volcanoes proves that if the hot spots are moving, so are the tectonic plates.

Species X and species Y belong to the same domain. Species Y and species Z belong to the same kingdom. Based ONLY on this inform
Stells [14]

Species X and species Z belong to the domain.

Answer: Option A.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Species which belong to the same domain, they also belong to the same kingdom and also to the same phylum. These species are very similar to each other and can also produce offspring together.

In the information given, species X and species Y belong to the same domain. The next column says that the species Y and species Z also belong to the same domain. So species X and species Z will also belong to the same domain.

The model below shows the structure of a portion of a plasma membrane in an animal cell. The model shows the structure of a port
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

The amphipathic property of the phospholipids that constitute the membrane

Explanation:

It seems like a options-based answer so it would be better if they were included here but basically, each of those phospholipid molecules has two parts with antagonistic reactions towards water.

The head is polar or hydrophilic, wich means it can be sorrounded by water. The tail, is apolar or hydrophobic which means it is repelled by water.

The interior and exterior of the cell is contain water-based substances, that's why the heads of the phospholipids are oriented like that with the tails protected inside the membrane.

This double layer structure has a fundamental role in the fluid property of the cell membrane from which derive most of it's functions.

How do structures in living organisms compare with structures of nonliving things such as construction cranes, buildings, ships,
hjlf
For the answer to the question above, there is no such thing as a non-living organism. Because organisms are only a term for living things.

1. Cellular structure: all living organisms generally have a cellular structure i.e., they are made up of one or more cells. 
<span>The protoplasm is the physical basis of life. </span>

<span>There is no such fundamental and structural unit called cell in non-living things. </span>

<span>2. metabolism : The various life processes taking place within the body of an organism is collectively termed metabolism. The metabolic processes can occur only in living organisms and not in nonliving things. </span>

<span>3. growth, repair and death : Growth consists of the living organism absorbing materials entirely different from those that make up its body and convert them into body building substances. Growth in non-living substances such as crystal is at the cost of material similar to that of which it consists. Same substance is added without conversion. </span>
<span>The growth is permanent, irreversible process in living organisms but can be reversed in non-living things. </span>
<span>Growth is different in different parts of the body of an organism. Growth is uniform throughout in the non-living things. </span>

<span>Respiration, nutrition,excretion, movement,irritability, reproduction, life span, death, evolvability are other properties of a living organism.</span>

A biologist marked 200 mice, by putting leg bands on them, out of a forest containing an unknown number of mice. The marked mice
Fofino [41]

Answer: The estimated population is 1250 mice

Explanation: The method use was marked and recapture, in which individuals are marked in the first capture and after some time biologist trap a new group of individuals that can be or not marked

Whit this data is possible to estimate the size of a population applying the Peterson method but is important to make some considerations such as:

1. All indivuals have the same probability to be capture

2, The population remain constant in terms of birth and death rate.

Taking this into account, the formula that allows to determine the size of the population is:

N=CM / R  

where N is the size of the population, C is number of indivuals trapped in recapture, M is number of individuals marked in the first capture and R is the number of marked animals trapped in recapture

In this case:

N = 250 * 200 / 40 = 1250
