The correct answer is: Layer 1, layer 2, and layer 4 in all three regions.
The index fossils are fossils that are commonly used for identifying a geological period of time, and these fossils are also very wide spread, as well as having a rapid evolutionary trends.
By this picture, we can easily see that even though we have rock strata from different regions, the same layers contain the same fossil, and it is a fossil that also is rapidly evolving so has a minor change in each layer.
Considering the following;
I. Heat is not readily available to all living cells.
II. Heat at excessive amounts denatures proteins.
III. Heat does not provide the activation energy for their reactions.
IV. When a critical temperature is reached, proteins no longer function
Answer;
I and IV
Explanation;
Living cells cannot use heat to provide the activation energy for biochemical reactions because heat is not readily available to all living cells and also when a critical temperature is reached, proteins no longer function.
Too much heat can kill an organism by rendering its organelles, cells, tissues and organs permanently inoperable and un-salvageable. The same process can be observed in tissues at low temperatures, and is the cause of frostbite. This is because enzymes are denatured by high temperature and inactivated by low.
The use of prokayotes and other organisms to clean up pollutants from soil, air, or water is called Bioremedation. Bioremedation is the use of living organisms for the recovery or cleaning up of a contaminated medium such as soil, sediment, air and water. It is actually a waste management technique that neutralizes pollutants from contaminated site using organisms. examples of bioremedation related technologies are mycoremedation, phytoremedation among others.
Answer:
False. They are not considered a population.
