These fossils are very useful for us because we can use them to date the layers of rock that they are found in. Fossils that can be used in this way are called index fossils, and rock layers with the same index fossils in them can be correlated. Not my answer, link here for full

Answer: Breaks down, decomposes. Decomposers include bacteria and fungi.
Answer:
Blood is composed of several types of cells:
- <u>RED BLOOD CELLS</u>: They are the oxygen carriers of the body i.e. they pick up the oxygen as the blood goes through the lungs & release of oxygen to cells.Also known as erthrocytes
- <u>WHITE BLOOD CELLS</u>: also known as leukocytes.They are the soldiers of the body.Aims at fighting against the infections ( caused by bacteria & virus)
- <u>PLATELETS</u> : helps in the blood clot in response to any wound or injury
There are five types of white blood cells & approx %age they made up in blood are:
•Neutrophils (55% to 70%)
•Band neutrophils (0% to 3%)
•Lymphocytes (20% to 40%)
•Monocytes (2% to 8%)
•Eosinophils (1% to 4%)
•Basophils (0.5% to 1%)
When children are more than 4 year old they have higher % age of lymphocytes than the adults do.
