What happens to the abundance of angiosperm and gymnosperm pollen fossils at the kt boundary?

Biology

dimaraw [331]3 years ago

The KT boundary marks a mass extinction event. the KT boundary is the time between the Cretaceous and Tertiary periods. An asteroid hit the earth at the end of the Cretaceous and that caused the end of the Cretaceous period. Before the KT boundary, pollen from angiosperms and gymnosperms is high. After the meteor hits the earth, a mass extinction occurs and the amount of pollen from gymnosperms and angiosperms decreases dramatically, while the amount of spores from ferns increases. During the Cretaceous period there were many species of gymnosperms and angiosperms but they disappeared at the KT boundary, when the asteroid hit the earth.

What are Constant/control variables
Alik [6]

Answer:

constant = changes and control is used as the basis of comparison

Explanation:

Constant variables are variables that do not change

e.g such as the temperature ( if it's meant to be kept at a constant temp).

Control variables are meant to be kept constant to allow for a comparison and thus determine the effect of IV (independant variable) and DV ( dependant variable)

Cloud [144]

Answer:

C. Both A and B describe errors in the statement.

Explanation:

In fossilization i.e formation of fossils, two terms are used as follows: permineralization and petrification.

- Permineralization is a process whereby the pore spaces of an organism's remains are filled with mineral matter that precipitates from lake and ocean solutions.

- On the contrary, petrifaction or petrification is the process whereby a once-living tissue (matter) are REPLACED by minerals, hence, preserving the organism's structure by turning it into a stone (petros).

According to this question, the student mixed up their definitions by giving the definition of permineralization instead, however, options A and B have described the errors associated with the statement.

Setler [38]

Answer:

The correct answer would be - high risk of developing CHD.

Explanation:

Every animal and humans need some cholesterol to regulate bodily functions such as creating hormones, vitamin d forming, cell membrane and many more. But if someone have too much cholesterol in his body, he must have developed a higher risk of coronary heart diseases or CHD.

The total cholesterol level under 200 mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter) is classified as normal for the adults. Reading between 200 to 239 mg/dL is considered as a borderline where is above 240 mg/dL is considered as high. Alejandro's reading falls under high cholesterol level so he has a higher risk of developing CHD.

Thus, the correct answer is - a higher risk of developing CHD.
