Answer:

A fossil found in rocks from one time period

Explanation:

An index fossil is an fossil of an organism which lived at only one time during the evolutionary history. The index fossils are useful since they are only obtained from rock of one particular evolutionary time zone.  Restricted presence of index fossils represents the fact that they lived during a relatively brief period of geologic history.

Answer/Explanation:

In humans, we breathe in oxygen via the respiratory system. The oxygen enters the lungs. The air sacs in the lungs - the alveoli - are the site of gas exchange in the lungs and are where the circulatory and respiratory systems interact.

The alveoli take in the oxygen, where it diffuses into the capillaries (circulatory system). Blood, which passes through the capillaries takes this oxygen to all the cells in the body. Oxygen binds to haemoglobin in red blood cells, which transport it around the body.

Additionally, blood also transports carbon dioxide back to the alveoli of the lungs, where it diffuses into the lungs and is expelled when we breathe out
