Tar sands (also called oil sands) are a mixture of sand, clay, water, and bitumen.[1] Bitumen is a thick, sticky, black oil that can form naturally in a variety of ways, usually when lighter oil is degraded by bacteria.[2] Bitumen has long been used in waterproofing materials for buildings, and is most familiar today as the binding agent in road asphalt. However, most of the bitumen produced from tar sands is refined and mixed with lighter oils to produce synthetic crude oil that can be further refined and used in much the same way as typical crude oil.[3]

Because bitumen is very thick and does not flow easily,

Explain why there are relatively few fossils dating from before the cambrian period

Reptile [31]

For the answer to the question above, I think that Few Fossils exist from this time because the animals were all soft-bodied. Most of the animals dissolve or decompose immediately and turn to dust because they are soft-bodied.

If a particular cell is known to be round and incapable of producing its own food, which one of these organelles would you assum

UNO [17]

If a particular cell is known to be round and incapable of producing its own food, such a cell would not be a plant cell. As such, from the options below:

CENTRAL VACUOLE
plasma membrane
cell wall
chloroplast

The correct answer as to which of the organelles the cell must have would be the plasma membrane.

central vacuole, cell wall, and chloroplast are all characteristic of plant cells.
All cell types have plasma membrane.

Hence, since it has been established that the cell is not a plant cell, the only organelle left that the cell cannot do without is the plasma membrane.
