Document Summary

Analogy structures that have the same function but anatomically don"t have the same evolutionary origin. Bicarbonate - a key component in the formation of sedimentary rock on the bottom of the ocean. When co2 dissolves in water, carbonic acid forms and interacts with minerals to make caco3. Biogeography - the study of the geographic distribution of plants and animals. Carbon cycle biochemical cycle in which carbon is exchanged among earths spheres. Vast majority of carbon exists in the ocean as carbonate (what forms sedimentary rocks) Carbonate salts - carbonate salts are the negatively charged carbonate ions reacted with a positively charged ion. Make up the chemical composition of the sedimentary rock that has formed layers in the oceans. Catastrophic theory cuvier"s theory to account for diversity shown by fossils. Earth affected by sudden, violent events that were sometimes worldwide. These huge catastrophes killed off major animal groups (extinct) Cell theory proposed by schleiden and shwann.
