Answer:

Option (1)

Explanation:

According to the law of superposition, the rocks that are found at the bottom of an undisturbed sedimentary sequence are the oldest rocks as these layers are initially formed due to the process of deposition, sedimentation and lithification, and with progressive sedimentation, the rock layers that are formed at the the apex portion are the youngest rocks.

So, the fossils found in bottom rocks are the oldest fossils, and those fossils that are found in the top layer are considered to be the youngest fossils.

Thus, the oldest fossils are the ones that are found in the deepest strata.

Therefore, the correct answer is option (1).

Products of glycolysis include:
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer: c. 2 pyruvate molecules

Explanation:

Glycolysis is the first step it the cell respiration cycle. It turns one molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate by a series of reactions catalyzed by different enzymes.

It starts by using 2 ATP to turn glucose into fructose-1,6-bisphosphate, which then divides in two and releases 4 ATP when it turns into two pyruvate molecules.

Thus glycolysis consumes 2 ATP and releases 4 ATP (giving a net gain of 2 ATP) and 2 pyruvate molecules.

Pavlova-9 [17]
The answer is A. Rabbits eat grass. The snakes eat the rabbits and the hawks eat the snakes. So if rabbits died off, so would the snakes, and the hawks. Because both of their food sources would deplete. And grass would flourish.
