Answer:

Older fossils are found in deeper layers of sedimentary rock.

Explanation:

The relationship between undisturbed sedimentary rock layers and fossils is that older fossils are found in deeper layers of sedimentary rocks.

This is one of the premise of the law of superposition and principle of fossil and fauna succession.

  • An undisturbed sequence is one in which the sedimentary layers have been arranged sequentially.
  • The oldest is at the bottom and the youngest on top.
  • Also, fossils grade in this manner too.
  • The oldest fossils will be in the oldest bed which is the deepest layer.
  • The youngest bed will contain the youngest fossils in like manner too.

How would the contractile vacuole of a freshwater amoeba respond is the organism was placed in seawater
morpeh [17]

The major function of the contractile vacuole of amoeba is osmoregulation. The solute concentration found in the cell of amoeba's cytoplasm is more than the solute concentration in the freshwater that surround the external part of the organism, thus, water enter the cell through osmosis. The contractile vacuole collect the excess water and expel it through an opening in the cell membrane. By doing this, the contractile vacuole maintains the water balance in amoeba. This how the contractile vacuole normally operate.

In a situation where amoeba is placed in seawater, then water from the cell cytoplasm will rush out of amoeba cell, because of the higher salt content of the surrounding medium. The contractile vacuole will respond to the situation by increasing its contraction and pumping water out the cell in an accelerated manner, this will lead to the shrinking of the cell.

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

HbA; lowers

Explanation:

The BPG in our blood stands for Bisphosphoglyceric acid. It is known as by its name as 2,3-Bisphosphoglyceric acid. It is present in our blood in the red blood cells. It binds with more affinity towards the de-oxygenated hemoglobin as compared to the  oxygenated hemoglobin.

Hemoglobin in blood delivers oxygen to our tissues moire efficiently. It is abbreviated as Hb.

Thus BPG binds more tightly towards HbA or adult hemoblobin and which lowers the affinity for oxygen.
