Limestone deposits can help researchers learn about what the area was like  thousands of years ago as Limestone can contain fossilized plants and animals.

Explanation:

  • Limestone often contains fossils of shelled sea creatures. Entire reef formations and communities of organisms are found preserved in limestone.
  • The types of fossils found in limestone include coral, algae, clams, brachiopods, bryozoa and crinoids.
  • Limestone is a sedimentary rock made almost entirely of fossils.
  • Fossils are the remains of ancient plants and animals, like an imprint in a rock or actual bones and shells that have turned into rock. Fossils are found in sedimentary rocks and hold the clues to life on Earth long ago.
  • Limestone is composed of the mineral calcite; calcium carbonate. It often has variable amounts of silica in it, as well as varying amounts of clay, silt, and sand. Limestone rocks fall under the category of sedimentary rocks that are made from mineral calcite.

Que hará un pez que tiene vejiga natatoria para sumergirse en aguas más profundas
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

La vejiga natatoria en un pez, se ve afectada por la presión hidrostatica del agua, generando presión y estrechamiento sobre esta, al disminuirse hace más fácil la inmersión, puesto que está vejiga contiene aire que tiene peso menor que el agua y hace flotar con más facilidad al pez, sin embargo cuando el pez sube, la vejiga aumentará su volumen y tendrá que nadar más para mantenerse más abajo en el agua

Describe how some cells make food molecules!
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

All living cells release energy from food molecules through cellular respiration and/or fermentation. Some cells make food molecules using light energy through the process of photosynthesis.

Two ways to cells get energy: cellular respiration and fermentation.

Fermentation: Fermentation, chemical process by which molecules such as glucose are broken down anaerobically.

Cellular respiration: Cellular respiration is the process through which cells convert sugars into energy. To create ATP and other forms of energy to power cellular reactions, cells require fuel and an electron acceptor which drives the chemical process of turning energy into a useable form.
