Please help . - How do scientist explain the incomplete fossil record? A) The fossil record is limited to fossilized animals and

the absence of fossilized plants.
B) Stasis occurs when the structure of a species in the fossil record does not change over a long period of time.
C) Not all organisms become fossils. Processes like erosion and mountain building can change rock layers, causing fossils to be spread over multiple layers or destroyed.
Eliminate
D) The adaptive radiation of mammals helps explain a rapid increase in mammal diversity of the fossil record after a mass extinction.

Answer:

Option C.

Scientist explain the incomplete fossil record because not all organisms become fossils. Processes like erosion and mountain building can change rock layers, causing fossils to be spread over multiple layers or destroyed.

Explanation:

  • Fossils are the remains of organisms that are found on the rocks after they die.
  • So, no one can be 100% sure about the complete fossil record because of the continuous process like erosion and other natural calamities.
  • The sediment must cover any organism's remains to start the fossilization process to start. Most of the organisms start decomposing  before this process can be executed.

Acceleration: How long will it take a cyclist
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

It will take 27 seconds for a cyclist to stop completely.

Explanation:

Initial velocity of the cyclist= u = 13.5 m/s

Acceleration of the driver = a  = -0.50 m/s^2

Final velocity of the cyclist = v = 0

Duration of time in which 13.5 m/s velocity is changed to 0 = t = ?

Using first equation of motion:

v = u + at

0 =13.5 m/s+(-0.50 m/s^2)\times (t)

-13.5 m/s=-0.50 m/s^2\times t

t=\frac{-13.5 m/s}{-0.50 m/s^2}=27 s

It will take 27 seconds for a cyclist to stop completely.

If somatic cells are reproduced during mitosis then what kind of cells are produced during meiosis?
leonid [27]
Mitosis produces two diploid (2n) somatic cells that are genetically identical to each other and the original parent cell, whereas meiosis produces four haploid (n) gametes that are genetically unique from each other and the original parent (germ) cell.

Assignment: Cell Size Exploration
iris [78.8K]

Explanation:

1. As cells increase in size, their surface area:volume ratios decrease rapidly; larger cells have a harder time moving molecules across the membrane. Thus, substances required for cell growth cannot permeate the cell; cell growth is limited as the cells grow further.

2.Surface area to volume ratio is 6 units of surface: 1 unit of volume

surface area=   6cm^{2} or (1 cm x 1 cm x 6 )

volume=  1cm^{3} (1cm x 1cm x 1cm)

With a high surface area to volume ratio, substances readily diffuse across the membrane of the cell, into the cytoplasm. The cell is able to obtain all the materials it requires.

3. Surface area to volume ratio is 3 units of surface: 1 unit of volume

surface area=   3cm^{2} or (1 cm x 1 cm x 3 )

volume=  1cm^{3} (1cm x 1cm x 1cm)

As cells increase in size, their surface area:volume ratios decrease rapidly; larger cells have a harder time moving molecules across the membrane, as there is less of a permeable surface for substances to diffuse across. In comparison to the other cell with a 6:1 ratio, this cell likely cannot obtain all the materials it requires.

Further Explanation:

Cells require all substances to cross the cell membrane. These are semi permeable -only allowing some molecules to pass cross the membrane or surface. Cell membranes contain lipids which form a barrier; polarity or arrangement can give these non-polar macromolecules hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties. Via diffusion, small water molecules can move across the phospholipid bilayer acts as a semi-permeable membrane into the extracellular fluid or the cytoplasm which are both hydrophilic and contain large concentrations of polar water molecules or other water-soluble compounds.

The hydrophilic heads of the bilayer are attracted to water while their water-repellent hydrophobic tails face towards each other- allowing molecules of water and water soluble molecules, to diffuse across the membrane along the concentration gradient. Thus in smaller cells, the rate of diffusion is higher as the surface area to volume ratio is higher; a substance can diffuse all the way to the center.

However as cells increase in size, their surface area:volume ratios decrease rapidly; larger cells have a harder time moving molecules across the membrane, as there is less of a permeable surface for substances to diffuse across. To combat this, eukaryotic cells have specialized mechanisms to transport molecules along with membrane-bound organelles like the endoplasmic reticulum that provide a higher surface area for absorption and enable more efficient transportation.
