<u>Bioclastic</u> rocks are actually sub-parts of <u>clastic</u> rocks, not a completely different thing altogether.
<u>Clastic</u> rocks are made up of loosened bits of pre-existing rocks. These rocks are formed from weathering, breaking those larger rocks down into little particles (for example, a grain of sand) due to external weather factors such as wind or rain. Some examples of these rocks would be sandstone, conglomerate, and silistone. They are classified by the size and shape of the fragments they are made up of.
<u>Bioclastic</u> rocks are also made up of loosened bits, however, they are not made of rock. They are made of fossils and biogenic (made by living organisms) particles (for example, pieces of shells and coral). These rocks are formed from small parts of pre-existing organisms compacting together to form a rock. Examples of this type of rock would be coquina and limestone, or more specifically, bioclastic limestone. Bioclastic rocks have a very crystalline texture and it is highly likely that you will see a shell in this rock type.
Energy is used to break down glucose in the presence of oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water.
E Coli bacterium are about 2.0 micrometers in length and .25 to 1 micrometer in diameter. In comparison, a red blood cell is about 6 to 8 micrometers in diameter and a thickness that ranges from .8 to 1 micrometer in the center to 2 to 2.5 micrometers at the thickest point.
Darwin lived in a time where natural selection was a strange theory among scientists and researchers. This was especially true when other researcher Lamarck argued that organisms passed on helpful traits to their offspring, that they magically could form a new trait to adapt to their environment and then pass it onto their offspring. For example, if a giraffe was too short to reach food, it would grow a larger neck in its lifetime and then pass that trait onto its offspring. Darwin argued that, through the process of survival of the fittest, that short giraffe would die off and never receive the chance to pass on its shortness to future populations. Thus, taller giraffes would survive— they can reach food, shorter giraffes can’t— and the short genes would disappear. The fact that Darwin was introducing a new theory that nobody was used to at the time was peculiar, so he had few people on his side until long after his observations.
Another problem Darwin had was the lack of technology. To travel, Darwin would have to use boats to reach far away places, and of course, this took time.
The final problem Darwin had was the extra time it took for evolution, a process that can take up to millions of years. Evolution didn’t occur over night— it took time for Darwin to conduct experiments, observe, conduct them again, come to a conclusion, and so on.
Hope this helped a little!
