Answer:

Sedimentary rock

Explanation:

The Coquina rock is a sedimentary rock that is comprised of broken fragments of the shells of ancient trilobites, invertebrates, and brachiopods. When the sediments were deposited, and shells were also added on it, they have undergone compaction and lithification, as a result of which these rocks were formed. They are generally classified as the soft limestone rocks, that are typically formed in the marine and lacustrine environments, where the flow energy is very high.

Thus, Coquina is a sedimentary limestone rock.

If an animal cell is placed in hypertonic solution what happens to the cell
Soloha48 [4]
<span>A solution is hypertonic to a cell if it has a higher solute (dissolved substance) concentration than the cell does. As a result, it also has a lower concentration of water than the cell does. Cell membranes and plant cell walls are semipermeable barriers, which means that certain molecules can diffuse through them, while other molecules can not.</span>

What is speciation?​
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

speciation is when one species splits off into multiple species.

In-depth answer:

Speciation can happen in 4 different ways, the first being Allopatric Speciation, where 2 groups of the same species are physically separated for extended periods of time, and when they're re-introduced, they don't breed.

Sympatric Speciation is when 2 groups of the same species aren't seperated, but form different behaviors that isolate them reproductively (the groups wont inter-breed)

Parapatric Speciation is when 2 groups of the same species are suddenly placed into a new environmental niche, and adapt in different ways to fill that niche.

Quantum Speciation is much less recognized, but it's when a new species rapidly evolves and 'buds off' from the original group
