The correct answer is an accumulation of microorganisms in deep marine environments.

Chalk rock refers to a pure form of limestone produced in tropical and warm seas about 100 million years ago in the Cretaceous period. The microscopic marine algae known as coccoliths thrived in the ancient seas. Their shells were comprised of calcite. With the death of the algae, their bodies sunk to the floor of the sea and sediment of chalk got deposited.

Over many years layers of chalk sediment got deposited and resulted in compaction of loose sediment into solid chalk rock.

What can you conclude about the advantage of the cell membrane being made up of phospholipids?
sergiy2304 [10]
The phospholipid bilayer is a universal component of all cell membranes. Each phospholipid molecule has a hydrophobic(water repelling) and a hydrophilic( attracted to water) end. This allows the phospholipids to arrange themselves in a way that makes a cell membrane not able to dissolve in water. The bilayer is also semi-permeable which allows only certain molecules to enter the cell.
