Answer:

Explanation:

Organisms are well preserved in mud because mud has high water holding capacity. It retains water and does not allow oxygen flow which can destroy the remains of organisms. There are some microbes that preserved whose growth are enhanced in water related environment like mud.

But sand cannot retain or hold water. It drains it off and all oxygen bearing water to flow which enhance decay compared to mud. It can't preserve organisms because of the above reasons.

Answer:

Organisms are more likely to be well preserved in mud than in sand because sand allows oxygen that has water(oxygen-bearing water) to flow through it. This type of oxygen speeds up decay. Mud does not have this oxygen so it prevents the flow of water, and keeping oxygen away means it slows decay of the buried organisms.

Hope this helps! :D

Answer:

An organism is able to produce sweat so that it cools off which helps it to cool down when exposed to high temperatures.

It's vessels are able to vasodilate and vasoconstrict to regulate temperature.

An organism stores fat as an insulator.

Eye pupils dilate and constrict to control the amount of light entering the eye.

If an organism touches a hot surface, nerve impulses are sent to the body to move and not get injured.

In a nutshell: an organism maintain a constant internal environment with homeostasis. And is able to respond to changes in the atmosphere by electrical impulses (nervous system) or the endocrine system by the release of chemicals (called hormones)

I NEED HELP The measure of how resistant a solid is to shape change when a force is applied.
enyata [817]

<em>Hardness is a measure of how resistant solid matter is to various kinds of permanent shape change when a force is applied</em> <em>Macroscopic hardness is generally characterized by</em> <em>strong intermolecular bonds</em>, <em>but the behavior of solid materials under force is complex; therefore,</em> <em>there are different measurements of hardness</em>: <em>scratch hardness, indentation hardness, and rebound hardness. Hardness is dependent on ductility, elastic stiffness, plasticity, strain, strength, toughness, viscoelasticity, and viscosity. Common examples of hard matter are ceramics, concrete, certain metals, and super hard materials, which can be contrasted with soft matter.</em>
