By which process are fossil fuels formed?

Biology
1 answer:
Delvig [45]3 years ago
4 0
There are three major forms of fossil fuels and these are coal, oil and natural gas. All three were formed many millions of years ago before the time of dinosaurs. Plants and trees died and sank to the bottom of swamps which filled the land. The dead matter formed layers of a spongy material called peat. Over time the peat was covered by sand, clay and other minerals which turned into sedimentary rock. As the layers of rock piled up, their weight squeezed the peat until water came out of it and it eventually turned into coal, oil and natural gas.

The semilunar valves prevent backflow of blood into the _____.
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

The semilunar valves prevent backflow of blood into the ventricles.

Explanation:

The semilunar valves are valves found at the junction between the left ventricle and the aorta and also between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery. They are cup-like in shape and prevent blood from flowing back into the ventricles which are the pumping chambers.

There are two types of semilunar valves. The aortic semilunar valves and the pulmonary semilunar valves. They are made up of the endocardial and connective tissue.

The closure of the semilunar valves causes the second heart sound detected on the stethoscope.

Diseases that arise from the semilunar valves are caused by its stenosis which is the narrowing of the valves and regurgitation where the heart valves can no longer hold firm enough to prevent the backflow of blood.

What would most likely happen to a person who is not getting enough essential amino acids in his or her diet?
VMariaS [17]
If you don't ingest enough amino acids you would have difficulties synthesizing protein. Basically, there are 20 of them in the genetic code and they build into everything because they are combined into proteins. They are the second most found molecule in our body after water, and you need a lot of them. If you don't get them your body won't have enough protein and you can die if it becomes too extreme.
