All living organisms share several key characteristics or functions: order, sensitivity or response to the environment, reproduction, growth and development, regulation, homeostasis, and energy processing. When viewed together, these characteristics serve to define life.
Answer:
Explanation:
This is usually because when they first became fossils, they embedded into the ground. Over many years afterwards, more layers came to cover that layer and so on. Newer fossils would be embedded into newer layers. That's why the older ones tend to be found the deeper you look.
Think it would be C, not 100% on this.
I wrote a paragraph summing the importance of Carbon a while back, see if it helps find your answer. :)
Carbon is an element on the periodic table with the symbol C, and the atomic number 6. There are many reasons that carbon is vital to life on earth, not only to humans but to plants as well. First of all, humans are made of eighteen percent carbon. It is not only found in humans, it is also found in every organism currently known, including plants in a technological way. To plants, carbon flows inside of their cells. They need it to create glucose which then works as food. To humans, it's used in many science sets. It is used in a vast array of compounds including gasoline. Gasoline is what keeps motors around the world running, and it's made up of hydrocarbons with at least 5 carbon atoms each. It also aids the greenhouse effect, keeping the earth warm and habitable by human beings.
Carbon moves from living things to the atmosphere. Each time you exhale, you are releasing carbon dioxide gas (CO2) into the atmosphere. Animals and plants need to get rid of carbon dioxide gas through a process called respiration. Carbon moves from fossil fuels to the atmosphere when fuels are burned.
