Fossils provide solid evidence that organisms from the past are not the same as those found today; fossils show a progression of evolution. Fossils, along with the comparative anatomy of present-day organisms, constitute the morphological, or anatomical, record. By comparing the anatomies of both modern and extinct species, paleontologists can infer the lineages of those species. This approach is most successful for organisms that had hard body parts, such as shells, bones or teeth. The resulting fossil record tells the story of the past and shows the evolution of form over millions of years.
A decomposer is an organism that feeds on dead organisms as well as the waste products of other organisms. Their job is to continue the cycle and return nutrients to the earth.
Answer:
If the hot-spot theory is correct, the next volcano in the Hawaiian chain should form east or south of the Island of Hawai'i. Abundant evidence indicates that such a new volcano exists at Lö'ihi, a seamount (or submarine peak) located about 20 miles off the south coast.
Metabolism involves the over-all chemical reactions of the body. It is divided into two kinds. The first one is catabolism which is the breaking down of molecules to acquire energy. Anabolism, the other type, is the synthesis of all the molecules that are needed by the cells.
During Physical Change there would be a re-arrangements of atoms or molecules, changes of the arrangement may be change in the distance between atoms or molecules, change in the crystal form.
Good luck!
