Chloroplasts move around the edge of the cell because the center of the cell contains the vacuole. This space is an air pocket, which gives the cell structure, but forces everything in the cell to the edges.

Why are all the chloroplasts located in the edges of the cell and not the middle?

Chloroplasts tend to be located near the periphery of plant cells due to their need for light in order to carry out photosynthesis. Placing chloroplasts closer to the cell membrane allows for more efficient absorption of light energy. Additionally, this positioning helps prevent shading of chloroplasts by other cellular structures and maximizes their exposure to sunlight.


Are valcanos spread evenly around the world or are they concentrated in specific areas?

They're spread around the world... usually along the edges of tectonic plates.


Does water in a pond freeze on the sides of the pond or in the middle first?

In cold weather, water in a pond usually freezes first at the surface before freezing spreads downward. It freezes at the edges first because the edges lose heat more quickly than the deeper parts of the pond, making it easier for the ice to form there.


What are three areas where plate boundaries may be located?

Middle of the ocean floor, around the edges of the continents, and within the continents.


What patterns can be seen around the edges of tectonic plates?

Around the edges of tectonic plates, patterns of seismic activity, such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, can be observed. These regions, known as plate boundaries, are where plates interact and can result in various geological phenomena like mountain formation or deep ocean trenches. The type of boundary, whether convergent, divergent, or transform, dictates the specific pattern and intensity of geological activity along the plate edges.

Where are most of the chloroplasts in Elodea?

Most of the chloroplast are on the outside edges of the cells because the central vacuole takes up most of the space in the middle


How many edges does a heptagon pyramid?

A pyramid with a heptagonal base will have seven edges at the bottom, and seven edges around the circumference, so 14 edges in total.


Is the number of edges on the base of a pyramid is twice the total number of edges?

No, it is the other way around. The total number of edges is twice the number of edges on the base.

How can the number of edges of the base of a prism be used to calculate the number of edges?

The number of edges of the base of a prism can be used to calculate the total number of edges by first determining the number of edges on one base. For example, a rectangular prism has 4 edges on its base. Then, multiply this number by 2 to account for the top and bottom bases. Finally, add the number of edges around the sides of the prism, which is the same as the number of edges on the base. So, in total, the number of edges of a prism can be calculated as 2 times the number of edges on the base plus the number of edges around the sides.


Why does the sauce in my crockpot always burn around the edges of the pot?

Around edges, the smaller volume of sauce separates from the rest; this small amount cooks faster.
