Answer:

The answer is A) a living thing dies and sediment is very slowly deposited on top of its body.

Explanation:

The formation of a fossil depends a lot on the chemical composition of the organism that has died. Generally, the hard materials of an organism such as bones tend to have a greater amount of minerals within their composition, which facilitates the formation of a fossil. In order for a fossil to form, it is necessary that all the soft tissues of the organism have disappeared and sedimentation of the organism occurs, which prevents decomposition. This fossilization process occurs in thousands of years.

It would be A, because a fossil forms after an animal dies, and hundreds to thousands of years of soil or sediment coversit's body, preserving it. :)

Answer:

ribosome, cell membrane, nucleus

Explanation:

The organelles that perform similar functions in both plant and animal cells among the listed organelles would be the ribosome, the cell membrane, and the nucleus.

First of all, chloroplast and cell wall are limited to the plant cell only. Animal cells do not have these organelles.

The ribosome functions as the site of protein synthesis in both plant and animal cells. The cell membrane acts as a channel for the control of the movement of materials in and out of the cells and is found in both plant and animal cells. The nucleus is also present in both cells and serves as the control unit of the cell by housing the genetic materials and dictating how the cells will behave.
