Where does the sedimentary rock chalk form? from the precipitation of minerals in shallow marine environments by the lithificati

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.

Where does the fertilized egg grow and develop while a woman is pregnant
Scilla [17]

Answer: Uterus

Explanation:

A fertilized egg is called ZYGOTE, and it is the product of fusion between a sperm cell and ovum cell.

The zygote is attached and housed in a muscular organ known as Uterus, commonly referred to as Womb. Here, the zygote grows and develops for several weeks into a foetus and then a human child (baby) in the pregnant woman

What species is/are formed at the anode of the alkaline fuel cell?
umka21 [38]

Fuel cells can make an electricity from a simple electrochemical reaction in which oxygen and hydrogen combine to form water. There are several different types of fuel cell but they are all based around a central design which consists of two electrodes, a negative anode and a positive cathode. These are separated by a solid or liquid electrolyte that carries electrically charged particles between the two electrodes. A catalyst, such as platinum, is often used to speed up the reactions at the electrodes. Fuel cells are classified according to the nature of the electrolyte. Every type needs particular materials and fuels and is suitable for any applications. The article below uses the proton exchange membrane fuel cell to illustrate the science and technology behind the fuel cell concept but the characteristics and applications of the other main designs are also discussed.  Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC)

The hydrogen ions permeate across the electrolyte to the cathode, while the electrons flow through an external circuit and provide power. Oxygen, in the form of air, is supplied to the cathode and this combines with the electrons and the hydrogen ions to produce water. These reactions at the electrodes are as follows:

Anode: 2H24H+ + 4e-

Cathode: O2 + 4H+ + 4e- 2H2O

Overall: 2H2 + O22H2O + energy

PEM cells operate at a temperature of around 80°C. At this low temperature the electrochemical reactions would normally occur very slowly so they are catalysed by a thin layer of platinum on each electrode.

Which situation results from increased biodiversity in an ecosystem
Nastasia [14]

The correct answer is - increased competition.

If an ecosystem experiences an increase in its biodiversity, than the result of it would be increased competition. The increased competition will be for food sources, water sources, territory. The reason why increased competition will occur is that there are only limited mounts of food sources, water sources, and territory in the ecosystem. There's also certain amount of niches in the ecosystem, and once all of them are occupied by some species, any other that is specialized for that niche will be competitor plus. This increased competition will lead to high evolutionary pressure, which will result in relatively quick adaptations and specialization in order to survive.

Which structure is common in animal cells but rare in plant cells?
Kobotan [32]

The correct answer is option 3, that is, lysosome.  

The lysosomes comprise hydrolytic enzymes essential for intracellular digestion. They are commonly found in the cells of animals but are rare in plant cells. In the plant cells, the hydrolytic enzymes are most often found in the vacuoles.  

The other mentioned components like cell wall are exclusively found in plant cells, not in animal cells, vacuole is found in both plant and animal cells, it is bigger in plant cells in comparison to animal cells, and the mitochondria are witnessed in both plant and animal cells.
