Who developed the classification method that is presently used by scientists?
The classification method that is presently used by scientists was developed by Carolus Linnaeus, in the 1700's. During his lifetime, Linnaeus collected around 40,000 specimens of plants, animals, and shells.
Why does it take million of years for fossils to form?
They're preserved due to the fact that they're inside the ground protected by a barrier of sediment.
What two groups did scientists divide organisms into before the sixteen hundreds?
Plants and animals.
How do plants help humans and animals?
you can help plants by not plucking them,you can help plants by watering them.you can help animals by feeding them,sheltering them, if they are lost giving them to the police.etc!!!!!!!!!!!
What best describes fossil?
Fossils (from Latin fossus, literally "having been dug up") are the preserved remains or traces of animals, plants, and other organisms from the remote past. The totality of fossils, both discovered and undiscovered, and their placement in fossiliferous (fossil-containing) rock formations and sedimentary layers (strata) is known as the fossil record. Fossil are bones of extinct creatures that are said to live thousands of years ago. A fossil is the ancient remains of animals, plants and other organisms from the distant past. The word is from a Latin word 'fossus' which means 'dug up'.
What are traces of plants or animals that have preserved in rock?
Fossils is the word
What is the preserved evidence in rocks of the existence of plants and animals is referred to as?
fossils
The remains of animals and plants which have been preserved in rocks are known as?
fossils
What are the remains of plants and animals that have been preserved in sedimentary rock?
FOSSILS
Preserved evidence in rocks of the existence of plants and animals is referred to as?
the corect answer is fossils
The fossils of animals found in the La Brea tar pits are examples of what kind of fossil?
The fossils found in the La Brea tar pits are examples of exceptionally preserved fossils due to the unique conditions of the tar pits. The animals were trapped and preserved in asphalt deposits, providing researchers with well-preserved specimens for study.
What is difference between botanical garden and herbarium?
A herbarium is like a library of preserved plants. It contains mostly pressed, dried specimens of plants, but also pickled plants and plant parts. A herbarium collects these specimens to so that botanists can study plant species and morphology. Pressed plant specimens that are cared for properly can survive for hundreds of years, so they are an excellent reference source. A botanical garden is similar because it acts as a collection for reference to study plants, but they are living in a garden. Botanical gardens are usually open to the public to enjoy the collection, whereas a herbarium is usually only open to people who need to work with the specimens or see them for reference. Many botanical gardens have a corresponding herbarium.
What precautions should be taken to prevent taxidermy mites from damaging preserved specimens?
To prevent taxidermy mites from damaging preserved specimens, precautions such as regular cleaning, proper storage in airtight containers, and using insecticides or freezing the specimens can be taken. It is important to monitor the specimens regularly for any signs of mites and take immediate action if they are detected.
Why must specimens be preserved until it is brought to the medical office?
Because urine undergoes chemical changes if it is not preserved for over a period of time.
Why is it difficult to find fossilized plants and animals together in the same location?
Fossilized plants and animals are often found separately because they have different preservation conditions. Plants are usually preserved in sedimentary rocks, while animals are more commonly found in sedimentary rocks or amber. The chances of both being preserved together in the same location are low due to the specific conditions required for fossilization to occur.
What would you find in a herbarium?
A collection of preserved plant specimens used for further study.
What microscope provides the greatest magnification of preserved living specimens?
Transmission electron microscope
