Which statement best describes the difference between the life cycles of plants and animals? different plants have a different number of phases in their life cycle; humans always have two phases in their life cycle. plants have a one-part life cycle and are entirely diploid; humans spend their lives in a haploid phase. plants have a two-part life cycle, spending part of their life in a diploid phase and part in a haploid phase; humans spend their lives in a diploid phase and produce gametes that are haploid. plants have a one-part life cycle and are entirely haploid; humans have a two-part life cycle, spending part of their life in a diploid phase and part in a haploid phase.

Plants have a one-part life cycle and are entirely haploid; humans have a two-part life cycle, spending part of their life in a diploid phase and part in a haploid phase.

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.
