Encapsulation is the process of adding header information to the layers' data "payload". As the "payload" is passed from one TCP/IP (or OSI) layer to the next, encapsulating layer information is wrapped around the data. So, for example, if the application layer produces a data payload for transmission, it encapsulates it with application-layers headers, which then gets passed to the presentation layer. The presentation layer does the same and so down the protocol stack before transmission across the physical media. At the destination, the process is reversed by way of de-encapsulation where the headers are stripped-off by each matching layer at the destination. 1. Application, Presentation and Session layers create data. {Encapsulation headers added by layers} 2. Transport layer coverts data into segments for transport across the network. {Encapsulation headers added by layer} 3. Network layer converts segments into packets (or Datagrams). {Encapsulation headers added by layer} 4. Data Link layer converts packets (and datagrams) into Frames and the Data Link header is added. {Encapsulation headers added by layer} 5. Physical - frames are converted into bits for transmission over the physical media.{Encapsulation headers added by layer}
When a user sends an HTTP request to a web server on a remote network, the information needed to perform the action is added to the address field of a frame to indicate the destination during encapsulation.
the physical address is added
it is used for error detection

The network Card(NIC) is on Layer 2, but the connector on the NIC is considered Layer 1 because the connector is considered a physical connection. Layer 1 ------Physical Layer 2 ------Data According to Network+ the answer is Physical.
support error detection =)
MAC provides physical addressing. The BIA (Burn In Address) which is stored in RAM when the computer boots up is added to each frame that is created as the source mac address. But to answer your question, the MAC layer does the following: Data Encapsulation and Media Access Control.
