While the number of cells in plants and animals varies from species to species, humans contain more than 10 trillion (10 13) cells. Most plant and animal cells are visible only under a microscope, with dimensions between 1 and 100 micrometres.

Anthracite is a metamorphic rock commonly called coal ,whose protolith or parent rock is bituminous coal.ituminous coal is a sedimentary rock. Anthracite coal is considered a metamorphic rock. 5 people found this useful. Edit. Share to: 1  The Periodic Table of Elements Life is sustained by a number of chemical elements.
Metamorphic rocks arise from the transformation of existing rock types, in a process called metamorphism, which means change in form. The original rock (protolith) is subjected to heat (temperatures greater than 150 to 200 Â°C) and pressure (1500 bars), causing profound physical and/or chemical change.The protolith may be a sedimentary rock, an igneous rock or another older metamorphic rock.owever, all minerals are stable only within certain limits, and the presence of some minerals in metamorphic rocks indicates the approximate temperatures and pressures at which they formed. The change in the particle size of the rock during the process of metamorphism is called recrystallization.
