Answer:

4

Explanation:

Number of fossils collected over period 1:

400

Number of fossils collected at a later period :

204

For each display case to have the same number of fossils ; the greatest number of fossils possible per case:

Obtain the greatest common factor of both 400 and 204

400 = 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 25, 40, 50, 80, 100, 200, 400

204 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 17, 34, 51, 102

Hence, the greatest common factor (400 and 204) is 4

Hence, the greatest Number of Fossil possible per case = 4

Explain what happens to animal cells if they are put in fresh water
neonofarm [45]
They will actually explode or burst

So What happens is the pure water outside has a high water potential while the cytoplasm inside the animal cell is a low water potential, water will diffuse down a water potential gradient through the semi-permeable membrane of the animal cell and cause the cell to swell (inflate like a fully-blown balloon), the result is that the delicate, elastic cell membrane<span> can't tolerate the internal pressure coming from the cytoplasm so it tears causing the cell to burst.</span><span>
