For some invertebrates that live in water, the sense of taste and the sense of smell are identical. why do you think separate organs for taste and smell might have evolved in animals that live on land but not in some animals that live exclusively in water?

The answer relates to the medium in which the sensed molecules travel. On land, animals detect a scent through organic molecules transported in the air. Land animals will experience a taste sensation by grasping an object using their mouth. Here, the organic molecules providing the sensation are transported by saliva or organic fluids of the object. So on land, there is a clear distinction between molecules transported in the wind and those that can be tasted. Water is a much more dense medium than air, and can carry small and large organic molecules, unlike air. Therefore, aquatic animals have little need for olfactory organs as all molecules can be 'tasted' from the water.

Answer from: Quest

a fossil fuel is a fuel formed by natural processes, such as anaerobic decomposition of buried dead organisms, containing energy originating in ancient photosynthesis.[1] the age of the organisms and their resulting fossil fuels is typically millions of years, and sometimes exceeds 650 million years.[2] fossil fuels contain high percentages of carbon and include petroleum, coal, and natural gas.[3] other commonly used derivatives include kerosene and propane. fossil fuels range from volatile materials with low carbon to hydrogen ratios like methane, to liquids like petroleum, to nonvolatile materials composed of almost pure carbon, like anthracite coal. methane can be found in hydrocarbon fields either alone, associated with oil, or in the form of methane clathrates.

the theory that fossil fuels formed from the fossilized remains of dead plants by exposure to heat and pressure in the earth's crust over millions of years was first introduced by andreas libavius "in his 1597 alchemia [alchymia]" and later by mikhail lomonosov "as early as 1757 and certainly by 1763".[4] the first use of the term "fossil fuel" was by the german chemist caspar neumann, in english translation in 1759.[5]

in 2017 the world's primary energy sources consisted of petroleum (34%), coal (28%), natural gas (23%), amounting to an 85% share for fossil fuels in primary energy consumption in the world.[6] non-fossil sources in 2006 included nuclear (8.5%), hydroelectric (6.3%), and others (geothermal, solar, tidal, wind, wood, waste) amounting to 0.9%.[7] world energy consumption was growing at about 2.3% per year. in 2015 about 18% of worldwide consumption was from renewable sources.[8]
