A lot of the organisms that have existed on earth have left no fossils because of the incredibly specific set of requirements for a fossil to form. First, it must settle into sedimentary rock, instead of being roasted to nothing else but carbon fragments from the formation of igneous rock, or be crushed and burned from the formation of metamorphic rock. Then, the conditions of the surrounding environment must be just right: high sedimentation rates, low soil acidity, lots of minerals and anoxic conditions are best. Also, the organism must have bones or some kind of material that can easily mineralize into a fossil.
An outlier would have been the organisms from the Cambrian period, which were fossilized at a high rate despite being mostly millimeter to centimeter long soft-bodied organisms. We have recently found out that this is due to the thick algal mats at the bottom of the Cambrian oceans. You can actually go see the Cambrian fossils at the Burgess Shale.

During exercise, epinephrine and norepinephrine are released from the adrenal medulla. Epinephrine and norepinephrine have the s
matrenka [14]

Answer and explanation:

Epinephrine and norepinephrine are two hormones that are released from the adrenal medulla when the body is under stress (like during exercise, for example) as a part of the sympathetic response.

These hormones have many functions and they all work together to prepare the individual for a fight or flight response -<em> like increasing heart rate and producing bronchodilatation</em>. One of these functions is the rise of glucose levels in blood which is important for this substance to reach several tissues, like the skeletal muscle. The skeletal muscle will make use of this glucose to produce ATP and generate the required energy for muscle contraction through a process called glycolysis, which is key for the fight or flight response mentioned above.

When we exercise, glucose levels rise thanks to these hormones so the skeletal muscle can have enough energy to contract and move as we want. If the exercise is too intense or prolongued, glucose levels will drop and other fuels will be needed to sustain this activity, like stored glycogen and fat.

The effects of deforestation include: increased soil fertility, as without trees to absorb them, the essential mineral nutrients
Nitella [24]

Answer:

Harm to downstream fisheries, due to sedimentation of waterways from increased soil erosion.

Explanation:

Deforestation is the reduction of forest area in a given territory, both because of nature or man-made causes.  It results in the loss of habitats for many animal and plant species, the destruction of natural peoples' habitats and livelihoods, and increases soil erosion and large floods in valleys. Often, a previously forested area becomes waste land.
