Explanation:

Fossils of an animal or plant refers to its preserved or mineralized remains. Fossils have proven to be an integral part of tracing life back. Among the very many usefulness of keeping fossil records of plant and animals, one of them is discovering the evolutionary relationships between these organisms.

This variation may also lead to the observation of new phenotypes in the population.

Phytoplankton are plantlike microorganisms that live on the water's surface in aquatic biomes. As photosynthesis organisms, phyt
defon
Phytoplankton serves as food for virtually all the organisms living in an aquatic environment. It is a primary food producer and serves as the foundation of aquatic food web. If there is a decline in the amount of phytoplankton, the organisms which feed directly on the plant may reduce significantly as a result of dire competition for food, this in turn will affect the organisms which feed on the dying out organisms and the trend will move in a similar way until it affect all the organisms living in that particular aquatic habitat.

How would homeostasis be affected if the cardiac muscle stopped contracting?
vodka [1.7K]

The heart is a muscle, therefore, if the cardiac muscles stopped contracting, the result would be the ceasing of heart function. That would lead to death, as blood wouldn't be pumped throughout the body. Homeostasis would therefore be interrupted.
