Answer:

Limestone is an example of biochemical sedimentary rock.

Explanation:

Sedimentary rocks are those that have been formed due to the accumulation of sediments over time from other rocks or organic remains. They correspond to 75% of the rocks in the world, being the most abundant.

Sedimentary rocks are generally classified, according to the way in which they are produced, in detritic or clastic, and chemical or non clastic; within the latter, there is a subcategory known as biochemistry.

Chemical sedimentary rocks are those that originate from materials deposited by chemical means, where the crystals are held together by chemical bonds or interwoven into each other. The materials, already dissolved, are transported and concentrated to form minerals that accumulate in aggregares and subsequently are lithified as in detritic rocks, to form a rock. Almost all of these rocks originate from chemical precipitation in extensions of surface water, either by inorganic chemical processes or by the chemical activity of organisms. Rocks formed by the activity of organisms are known as biochemical sedimentary rocks.

A clear example is limestone.

Whales, humans, lizards, and birds each have forelimbs that are adapted for different functions, including swimming, using tools
Elis [28]

Answer:

A. These homologous structures indicate that these four organisms all share a common ancestor.

Explanation:

Homologous structures mean the organs will have similar structure, but not necessarily function (human arm vs whale's flipper). While analogous structures are similar in function but not structure (wings of an airplane vs wings of a bird). Since the question states that they are similar in skeletal structure, we know they must be homologous structures, thereby eliminating B and C. D is not a choice because the question does not provide anything about the order of evolution. Therefore the answer is A. These homologous structures indicate that these four organisms all share a common ancestor.

Cell walls are impermeable to transport of most materials required for bacterial nutrition.
mezya [45]

The given statement is False.

The bacterial cells walls are composed of peptidoglycan, also known as murein. It comprises polysaccharide chains cross-linked by unusual peptides, involving D-amino acids. The bacterial cell walls are distinct from cell walls of fungi and plants that are made up of chitin and cellulose, respectively.

The cell walls in bacteria allow small molecules to pass through them freely, however, do not permit large molecules to pass through them, in this manner, it function as a coarse filter.

The main function of the cells wall is to sustain the shape of the cell and inhibit the cell from bursting due to osmotic pressure. The cell wall allows the components to pass, which are essential for bacterial nutrition.
