How do organisms form carbon films?
Organisms turn into rock.
Residue is left on rocks when organisms decay.
Hollow forms are left in sediment by decaying organisms.
Organisms leave evidence of their activities, such as footprints.

 When an organism is covered by sediment, it begins to decay. When decaying, the organisms release a gas. This process in turns leaves a thin film of carbon that preserves parts of the organisms.

Explanation:

when an organism is covered by sediment, it begins to decay.

the nitrogen cycle provides nitrogen to the ecosystem from the atmosphere, ground and oceans. nitrogen is an important component of complex molecules such as amino acids and nucleotides, which lead to the creation of proteins and dna, the building blocks of all life. plants absorb nitrogen in the form of ammonium, nitrate ion and, on rare occasions, as amino acids. animals receive nitrogen necessary for biological processes from feeding on living or dead organic matter.
