The correct answer is: increased rates of decomposition occur in tropical ecosystems. This is because higher temperatures promote the rate of decomposition. At the tropics, the climate tends to be warm and moist all year round. These conditions are perfect for the proliferation of organisms that aid decomposition, such as flies, mosses etc. Bacteria that aid in decomposition also thrive in warmer and more humid environments. The increased activity of bacteria with temperature is generally described by an equation called a 'first order' equation, which sees an exponential growth in bacteria with increasing temperature.

answer: - b cells

explanation: -

there are many types of white blood cells present in our body. one such class of white blood cells are the lymphocytes. the b cells belong to the lymphocyte class of wbcs. the b cells perform their action against the pathogen by producing specialised proteins called as antibodies. these antibodies are produced as and when the b cells encounter pathogens in response to the antigens present on the surface of the pathogen. these antibodies bind to the antigens present on the pathogen and then, target them for destruction by other cells of the immune system.

so, the b cells mediate their action by identifying the antigens present on the surface of the pathogens and then producing antibodies in return to mediate its effect.

c. earths continental crust is thicker than its lithosphere.

because, the lithosphere is the outermost layer of the earth/ 100 km thick and is defined by its machanical properties.the lithosphere contains oceanic and continental crust that varies in age and thickness across locations and geologic time. the lithosphere is the coolest layer of the earth in terms of temperature. the term lithosphere should not be confused with the use of "geosphere" which is used to indicate all of earth systems, including the atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere. the surface of the earth can be divided into the continental crust and the oceanic crust. the continental crust is made mostly of granite while the oceanic crust is made of basalt. the average thickness of the continental crust is 25 miles and the average thickness of the oceanic crust is 5 miles. three types of rock, igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic, make up the surface of the earth. that's why 3 option is preferable.
