Answer: fossils can be formed only when a living thing is buried soon after it dies. If it is not buried soon enough, it decays. For this reason, most fossils are found in sedimentary rocks that were once under water.
Explanation:
Answer:
unicellular - both prokaryotes and eukaryotes
contain mitochondrion - eukaryotes only
are generally less than 2 pm - Prokaryotes only
multicellular - eukaryotes only
lack membrane-bound organelles - prokaryotes only
Explanation:
Prokaryotes are generally unicellular, that is, they are made up of single cells only. However, there are unicellular and multicellular eukaryotes with some eukaryotes like humans and advanced plants having as many as millions of cells.
Prokaryotes generally lack nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles such as chloroplast and mitochondrion. Eukaryotes on the other hand have nucleus and membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondrion and chloroplast.
When it comes to size, prokaryotes are generally small and microscopic while eukaryotes consist of both microscopic and macroscopic cells or organisms. However, prokaryotes are generally smaller than microscopic eukaryotes.
Answer: C. The C horizon is very deep.
Horizons are the layers of soil develops as a result of soil formation. Horizon lies parallel to the earth surface. Each horizon differs from the other on the basis of amount or organic matter present, color of the soil, texture of soil and other components making up horizon, and amount and type of minerals present in the soil.
C horizon is the horizon that lies deeper region of the collective soil horizon. It consist of unweathered or partially weathered rocks or their aggregates. Therefore, it retains the original chemical composition of the parent rock. This results in the higher mineral content as compared to other horizons. This horizon also lacks the organic matter as no or very little decomposition activity of plant and animal matter takes place. Therefore, color of soil in this horizon in the absence of organic matter remains light.
Hence, a sample of soil from a C horizon is light brown in color and has a high content of a mineral called feldspar is because of the fact that the C horizon is very deep.
