Other evidence came from studies published by regulatory agencies in other countries or by companies, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and academic institutions. The committee also sought evidence from the public and from the speakers at its public meetings and webinars.1

-Endocytosis includes; phagocytosis, pinocytosis, and receptor mediated: Endocytosis brings substances into the cell, plasma membrane surrounds the substances to be taken in, encloses them in a membrane-bound sac (vesicle) and brings them into the cell

-Phagocytosis: endocytosis of large solid particles (“cell eating”)

-Pinocytosis: endocytosis of extracellular fluid that contains dissolved solutes (“cell drinking”)

-Receptor-mediated: highly selective, ligands bind to specific receptor proteins on the plasma membrane and are then taken into the cell

-Exocytosis: the reverse of endocytosis: substances are removed from the cell; vesicles fuse with plasma membrane and release their contents into the extracellular fluid; important in nerve cells to release neurotransmitter and secretory cells to release cell products (ex. digestive enzymes, protein hormones).

WHY IS A FOSSIL FOUND IN MULTIPLE LAYERS OF ROCK (TIME PERIODS) NOT CONSIDERED A RELIABLE INDEX FOSSIL?
Sati [7]

Certain fossils, called index fossils, help geologists match rock layers. To be useful as an index fossil, a fossil must be widely distributed and represent a type of organism that existed for a brief time period. Index fossils are useful because they tell the relative ages of the rock layers in which they occur.
