Answer:

Heat and pressure build up on top of decaying matter was necessary for the formation of all fossil fuels.

Explanation:

Fossil fuels are different energy sources in the form of hydrocarbons, which come from older geological periods, and which can be found on or below the ground in the litho and pedosphere. According to the biogenic theory, which prevails today, the fossil fuels are the remains of ancient animals and plants that have been buried in the earth and then decomposed under high pressure and heat to their constituents (mainly carbon and carbon compounds).

The fossil fuels mainly comprise natural gas, petroleum and coal. Natural gas consists mainly of the gas methane and has a high content of the element hydrogen compared to the element carbon. Methane is found in natural gas fields together with crude oil or bound as methane clathrate. Petroleum (also called crude oil) is found in liquid form and contains a larger amount of the elemental carbon, while the non-volatile rock species also called carbon (not to be confused with the elemental carbon) contains a very large amount of the elemental carbon. Anthracite consists almost of pure carbon. All of these fuels are very important for trade. There are also other fossil fuels that are largely untapped, such as oil shale, various sedimentary rocks containing hydrocarbons.

Answer:

A scientist's response to the increase in food poisoning sick patients should be examining the type and source within the foods consumed.

Explanation:

Food poisoning involves the effects that decomposed or contaminated food can have on a group of people who eat it, and can cause illness in all or most individuals.

Although patients' symptoms should be treated and preventive education provided, the best course of action for a scientist is to investigate the cause.

The response of a scientist to the increase in food poisoning cases is to determine the type and source of food, as well as the nature of the alteration it has -decomposition, contamination, bacteria- in order to eliminate the source and avoid new cases.

The other options may be valid in the face of the appearance of food poisoning cases, but they are not the best procedure with which a scientist would respond.

Discuss two benefits of multicellular organisms having some specialized cells rather than all the cells being the same.

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer and explanation;

-There are advantages to being multicellular rather than unicellular. These include; allowing the organism to be larger, allowing cell differentiation (having different types of cells with different functions) , and also allowing the organisms to be more complex.

-Complex organisms often have specialized cells that carry out different functions. Having specialized cells and systems allows the process such as transport of nutrients and waste to and from all the cells of the body to occur.
