Marrrta [24]1 year ago

Mammals reached a weight of about 13 pounds within 100,000 years of the extinction event. By 300,000 years after their extinction, they reached a weight of 55 pounds (25 kg), becoming the first purely herbivorous mammalian species. Some mammals weighed more than 110 pounds by 700,000 years after the asteroid.

In the early Paleogene, which was the time after the Cretaceous, it appears from the bones of extinct mammals that they became more terrestrial. According to Professor Janis, the increase in understory vegetation is to blame. "Bushes and shrubs beneath the tree canopy were now a more suitable habitat for these small mammals," she claimed.

n200080 [17]
The provide direct energy because they help it grow plants and when plants grow it helps us live.

Describe in 2 to 3 sentences the safety precautions that are taken while transporting spent fuel rods and other nuclear waste.
Kitty [74]

Answer:

Spent fuel rods actively produce radiations despite of the fact that they cannot be used in nuclear reactor. So, their safe transportation is vital. This is typically done by putting spent fuel rods in Type B casks that are made with steel or a combination of steel and lead. This acts as a shield and avoid radiation exposure to the living organisms.

Explain why cells don't just continue to grow larger as organisms grow larger.
mihalych1998 [28]
It is a matter of surface area to volume.  The ratio of surface area to volume decreases (as it gets larger, volume increases faster than surface area).  Because of this, cells can only intake so many nutrients and other things they need, meaning growth is limited.
