Answer: The phrase 'composed of a membrane' best critized the definition

Explanation:

Not all cells are composed of membranes. Prokaryotic cells are found in unicellular organisms, they are with a single chromosome, no nuclear envelope, no membrane-bounded organelles.

Thus, the absence of membrane in the organelles of Prokaryotes like bacteria and cyanobacteria, invalidates and also critized the above definition.

A source of variation that is inherent in a system and predictable is typically known as:
nevsk [136]

The right answer is common error.


A common error (or random error) is when, from one measure to another, the value obtained may be overvalued or underestimated in relation to the real value.

An example of a random error is the measurement of time with a timer. The error comes from the reaction time of the experimenter at start-up and at the end of the timer. Since this reaction time is not always the same, the measured value can be overestimated or underestimated. It is understandable that a repetition of the measures can alleviate the random error.

After the fossils are buried in the mud the soft tissues start to decompose rapidly. Leaving only the hard shells or bones of the animal. With time, sediment starts to build up on the top and then hardens into rock. The bones then start to decay, minerals start to enter and then end up replacing the organic material cell by cell in a process that is known as "petrification." So the answer you are looking for is B,  Mud can prevent oxygen from reaching the dead organism.

How do humpback whales survive and their population increasing
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

After being hunted almost to extinction, the humpback whale population has rebounded dramatically. Rapidly melting Antarctica ice poses a threat to coastal cities, but there is at least one species that is benefiting: Humpback whales are flourishing these days, due to an abundance of krill.

Pre-hunting population size may have been as many as 200,000-300,000 whales. They were estimated to number around 2,300 in 1998 and to be increasing between 2.4-8.4% per year. The IWC is undertaking an assessment of Antarctic blue whales at present.
