The Precambrian era envelopes the major bulk of the history of the Earth, beginning from the creation of the planet approx 4.5 billion years ago and terminating with the origination of composite, multicelled forms of life approximately 4 billion years after.

The Precambrian refers to the earliest of the geologic ages that are signified by the distinct layers of sedimentary rock. The Earth was about more than six hundred million years old when life started. The planet had cooled down from its native molten state, creating a solid crust and oceans formed by water vapor in the atmosphere.

At about three billion years ago, the atmosphere of the Earth was virtually devoid of oxygen. At approximately 2.4 billion years ago, oxygen was discharged from the seas as a waste product of photosynthesis by cyanobacteria. The levels of the gas slowly raised, attaining about 1 percent around two billion years ago.

Approximately 800 million years ago, the levels of oxygen attained about 21 percent and started to breathe life into more composite species. The oxygen-rich ozone layer was also created, protecting the surface of the Earth from the harmful solar radiation.

The Precambrian Era is the largest on Earth, voering about 600m years, which is around 90% of Earth's age. Nota that this isn't an official era or period, so I recommend calling it "time".

A susystem is system, that functions independently, within another bigger system.


Given all that, let's work trough the differences:

During the precambrian time, some subsystems where not existent.

In the beginning, oceans, lakes and rivers didn't exist, since there still wasn't liquid H_{2} O on Earth.

Since there wasn't a source of water, trees where also inexistant and started develpoing only later on, when soil was adequate (but still in the precambrian era, remember, it covers about 600 million years).

The geopshere was also different at the start of the Precambrian time. It was more active, there still wasn't inactive volcanoes and these where more common and frequent.

The atmosphere was also very different. Gases at that time where different, and the concentration of these as well.


Hope it helped,

Glia that provide myelin for neurons in the brain are called ________.
kati45 [8]

Answer:

oligodendrocytes

Explanation:

Glial cells are part of the nervous system. These are helper cells that support the function of the central nervous system (CNS) and can be called oligodendrocytes when they supply myelin to neurons.  These cells are responsible for producing the myelin sheath have the function of electrical insulator for CNS neurons. They have extensions that wrap around the axons, producing the myelin sheath.

It is estimated that there are 10 glia cells in the CNS for each neuron, but because of their small size, they occupy half the volume of nervous tissue. They differ in form and function and they are: oligodendrocytes, astrocytes, Schwann cells, ependymal cells, and microglia.

The species that is known as a robin in England has a yellow breast, and another species that is known as a robin in the United
Mamont248 [21]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

C. Different species can share the same common name.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>Different organisms can share the same common name</u></em>, and thus the reason why scientists avoid using common naming while naming organisms.
  • Additionally, s<em><u>cientists avoid using common names because they are not specific to a specific species.</u></em> For instance, Robin is a common word that may be used to describe the many species of robin that are found in different regions of the earth, for example, Robin in England which has yellow breast, and robin in United states and have red breasts.
  • Therefore, <em><u>for the purpose of avoiding ambiguity and confusion in naming organisms scientists use scientific names while identifying various species.</u></em>

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

A). The model does not predict energy flow.

Explanation:

As per the given details, the most probable constraint of using 'numerical computer-built models' would be their 'inability to forecast the energy that is flowing throughout the ecosystem.' However, they assist in offering collected information at the same time yet <u>its failure to predict the actual amount of energy flowing that will lead to a failure to predict if the ecological balance is being maintained or not</u>. As a result, some organisms may be deprived of the appropriate food to ensure their survival and their existence on this planet might be under threat. Thus, this is the limitation of using such-technology based models and hence, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.
