Answer:

the petrified log looks like the original tree.

Explanation:

A tree to be petrified first needs to be buried. An element laying on the surface can not be petrified because it is exposed to many different factors (such as<em> organisms, microorganisms, climatic conditions</em>, etc.), that affect the petrification process. So, in the case of a fallen tree, first, it needs to be covered by many sedimentary layers. Once it is underground, it also needs the presence of underground water and minerals. Water replaces the original organic material with minerals (silica, calcite, and pyrite). This replacement process results in the conversion of the woody material into a fossil of the original material. Very often, the tree details are so preserved that the fossil looks exactly like the original trunk.

Depending on the preservation degree, a fossil can be useful for different studies about the past.

Explain the role of insulin in the homeostatic regulation of blood glucose levels
Xelga [282]

Answer:

Insulin helps the cells absorb glucose, reducing blood sugar and providing the cells with glucose for energy. When blood sugar levels are too low, the pancreas releases glucagon. Glucagon instructs the liver to release stored glucose, which causes blood sugar to rise.

Hope this helps!

4vir4ik [10]

Archaebacteria are obligate anaerobes, i.e., they flourish in the strict absence of oxygen., and that is why only they can undergo methanogenesis.

The cell membranes of the Archaebacteria are composed of lipids.

The rigid cell wall provides shape and support to the Archaebacteria.

A victim with a foreign-body airway obstruction becomes unresponsive. what is your first course of action
Mrrafil [7]
The answer to this question would be: start doing CPR.

If the victim becomes unresponsive, probably the foreign body completely obstructs the airway and the oxygen level is already too low. Without the victim help, taking out the foreign body will be hard.
In this case, CPR will be the best option since the pressure from chest might push the foreign body away and the CPR can help circulate the blood.
