Do all organisms eventually become fossils?
no, because only organisms that have hard parts will fossilize
yes, the fossil record is incomplete only because paleontologists have not yet found every fossil
no, because the conditions necessary to form fossils are relatively rare
yes, the fossil record is incomplete only because some fossils have been destroyed by rock cycle processes.
The fossil record provides evidence for which of the following?
evolution
the existence of past life forms
changes in past environments
all of the above

use the environmental temperature to control their body temperature
Amphibians breathe through their skin. What is this called?
Cutaneous respiration
circulation
pulmonary respiration
buccal respiration
As adults, amphibians are
carnivores
