Sedimentary rock is one of the three main rock groups (along with igneous and metamorphic rocks) and is formed in four main ways: by the deposition of the weathered remains of other rocks (known as 'clastic' sedimentary rocks); by the accumulation and the consolidation of sediments; by the deposition of the results of biogenic activity; and by precipitation from solution.

Answer:

Cooling

Explanation:

Rocks are of different types. One of those types is the Sedimentary rock, which is the type made from sediments of rocks that have once existed. These rocks don't just appear out of nowhere, they gradually develop in a series of processes. The processes involved in the formation of sedimentary rocks are: weathering, eroding, transportation, deposition and cementation.

Weathering, which is the first process, involves breaking down of pre-existing rocks which are then carried by certain physical forces like wind, water etc. This process is called erosion. The washed material is then transported away from the original site, to be deposited in another environment. The deposited material/sediments then undergo a compaction and cementing process where the rock particles glue together to eventually form the sedimentary rock. This process is called Lithification.

Therefore, cooling is not one of the processes that forms sedimentary rocks.

What other structures of the cytoskeleton would show the same pattern of microtubules as the flagellum?
alexira [117]
The appropriate response is cilia. Cilia are little hair-like structures on the surface of the cell. The hairs clear hair, bodily fluid, caught tidy and microscopic organisms up to the back of the throat where it can be gulped. 
Cilia are found in the coating of the trachea (windpipe), where they clear bodily fluid and earth out of the lungs. In female well evolved creatures, the beating of cilia in the Fallopian tubes moves the ovum from the ovary to the uterus.
