The fossil record is a product of which period of Earth's history?
Cretaceous |
|
Cenozoic |
|
Cambrian |
|
Jurassic |
The Cambrian period is one of the most significant geological time periods. Lasting about 53 million years, it marked a dramatic burst of changes in life on Earth known as the Cambrian Explosion. It is from this period that the majority of the history of life on Earth, as documented by fossils, is found. Called the fossil record, the layering of these mineralized imprints of organisms preserved in sedementary rock have allowed geologists to build a historical record of plant and animal life on Earth.
Which of these parts of digestion takes place in the mouth?
absorbing nutrients |
|
breaking down starches |
|
breaking down fats |
