Answer;
Phospholipid.

Phospholipid forms a double layer as the primary structure of cell membranes.

Explanation; 
Cell membranes contains of lipids (phospholipids and cholesterol), proteins and carbohydrates groups that are attached to some of the lipids and proteins. 
Phospholipids are composed of a polar head and non-polar (hydrophobic) tail. They line up such that the heads and the tail groups are side by side to form a single layer due to the interactions between the head groups and the tail groups. Two of these layers line up with the hydrophobic tail groups facing each other to prevent the hydrophobic groups away from the polar head groups of other phospholipids and from the water in the surrounding environment.

Limestone deposits can help researchers learn about what the area was like
Ivahew [28]

Limestone deposits can help researchers learn about what the area was like  thousands of years ago as Limestone can contain fossilized plants and animals.

Explanation:

  • Limestone often contains fossils of shelled sea creatures. Entire reef formations and communities of organisms are found preserved in limestone.
  • The types of fossils found in limestone include coral, algae, clams, brachiopods, bryozoa and crinoids.
  • Limestone is a sedimentary rock made almost entirely of fossils.
  • Fossils are the remains of ancient plants and animals, like an imprint in a rock or actual bones and shells that have turned into rock. Fossils are found in sedimentary rocks and hold the clues to life on Earth long ago.
  • Limestone is composed of the mineral calcite; calcium carbonate. It often has variable amounts of silica in it, as well as varying amounts of clay, silt, and sand. Limestone rocks fall under the category of sedimentary rocks that are made from mineral calcite.
