Answer:
The age of the rock is 5 million years
Explanation:
Fraction of radioactive substance remaining = 6.25% = 625/10000 = 1/16
Number of half-lives undergone by the substance to leave behind 1/16 of the original sample
1/16 = (1/2) * (1/2) * (1/2) *(1/2)
Therefore, the substance have decayed 4 times
One half=life = 1.25 million years
Four half-lives = 4 * 1.25 million years = 5 million years
Therefore, the age of the rock is 5 million years

Plants have specialized structures that perform their necessary life functions. The gases that are crucial to proper
function within a plant are oxygen and carbon dioxide. What structure would control the exchange of these gases in
a plant?
a. mesophyll
b.trichomes
c.root hairs
d.stomata
Answer:
Stomata
Explanation:
Normally stomata open when the light strikes the leaf in the morning and close during the night.
d. During photosynthesis, CO2 enters the plant leave through opened stomata and in return it releases glucose,oxygen and some little molecules of water
As you have observed, animal hairs usually have a large medulla composed of air-filled compartments. These air-filled compartments are present for a reason and can actually help hair do its job better. Describe one reason that might explain why having a hair made of air filled compartments could be helpful to an animal.
PLEASE HELP
Answer:
to provide insulation
Explanation:
The medullary index is the proportion of the diameter of the hair medulla in regard to the diameter of the entire hair: The equation to calculate the medullary index is medulla diameter/hair diameter. In animals, the hair medulla is generally thicker compared to humans (medullary index approximately 0.5 and 0.33, respectively). The thicker the diameter of the hair medulla, the better is the insulation.
Most mutations that cause cancer occur within body cells, and body cell mutations are not inherited. If cancer is not inherited, why does cancer statically appear to run in families?
Family members have a similar genetic make-up that may make them predisposed to cancer.
Family members are exposed to similar environmental conditions.
Family members have a widely varied genetic make-up that can be affected by specific mutagens.
Family members share the contagious mutagens that can be passed by close exposure.
Answer:
Family members have a similar genetic make-up that may make them predisposed to cancer.
Explanation:
Variation in certain genes can increase the risk of developing certain cancers. This is why certain cancers run in families. There are lots of examples where the risk factor is small, but in some cases, the risk factor is very large.
For example, mutations in BRCA1 are very highly linked to the risk of breast cancer. As a result, many women with mutations in this gene opt to get a mastectomy to reduce their chances of developing breast cancer.
What organelle is labeled ?
Two differences between hormones and the nervous system
Answer:
Hormones can be proteins, lipids or cholesterol-based molecules. Neurotransmitters are protein. The main difference between hormones and neurotransmitters is that Hormones are produced in the endocrine glands and released into the bloodstream where they find their movement targets at a distance from their origin. In contrast, Neurotransmitters are released into the synaptic space by a terminal of an excited presynaptic nerve cell and transmit a nerve signal to the neighboring postsynaptic nerve cell.
Explanation:
Answer:
the nervous system and endocrine system (hormones) is that the nervous system uses electrical impulses to send messages through neurons while endocrine glands use hormones to send messages to the target cells through the bloodstream.
The Pompeii worm was discovered near _______. a. a hydrothermal vent b. a sea mount c. Hawaii d. the great barrier reef Please select the best answer from the choices provided A B C D
Answer:
The answer is A. hydrothermal vent
Explanation:
I just did it
Alvinella pompejana is known as the Pompiee worm. This organims is found in the deep hydrothermal vents in the Pacific ocean. Thus, the correct option is A.
What is Pompiee worm?Alvinella pompejana, the Pompeii worm is a species of the deep-sea polychaete worm. It is an extremophile found only at the hydrothermal vents of the Pacific Ocean, discovered in the early 1980s off the Galápagos Islands by the French marine biologists.
The Pompeii worm (Alvinella pompejana) is a deep-sea polychaete vermiform extremophile. This organism can survive at extreme conditions. It is possible because of their bacterial coating which redistributes the heat to keep the worm cool. This bacteria not only help regulate the temperature of the worm but they also break down minerals from the vent to aid their host.
Therefore, the correct option is A.

Which processes provides evidence for the claim that energy is transferred
during cellular respiration? Select all correct answers.
A. The electron transport chain
B. Carbon dioxide is released
C. hydrogen ions move down the concentration gradient across the inner membrane
D. transfer of electron carriers such as NADHand FADH2
E. water is formed
Answer:
B. Carbon dioxide is released
E. water is formed
Explanation:
Cellular respiration is defined as the metabolic processes in which chemical energy is converted into ATP and the waste product is released by the cells.
The processes that provide evidence for the claim that energy is transferred during cellular respiration are Carbon dioxide is released and water is formed. During cellular respiration, oxygen and glucose are converted into carbon dioxide and water, and the energy is transferred to ATP.
Hence, the correct answers are "B and E".
Answer:
OPTION B&E.
Explanation:
WHEN ANYTHING UNDER GOES COMBUSTION IT RELEASES CO2.
Given that almost all organisms obtain energy from food by the process of cellular respiration, which is the most likely explanation for what prevents Earth from running out of oxygen?
Answer:
Oxygen cycles keeps the flow of oxygen at a constant rate.
Explanation:
The oxygen constitutes about 20% of the gaseous components in the atmosphere and it's being renewed continuously by the various microorganism and primary producers as green plants that use photosynthesis and converts the sunlight and carbon dioxide to water and releases oxygen. Oxygen cycle makes life possible as most of the elements are combined with oxygen in some way or another and are found on the lithosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere even biosphere hence its is present insufficient amounts.
Answer:
A.) The net effects of the reactions of photosynthesis and cellular respiration are the opposite of one another, therefore the products of one are the reactants of the other, creating a cycle.

Which of the following presents the best argument as to the role of the cow in this cycle?
Answer:
Cow dung helps in balancing the environment and kills germs
Explanation:
Cow dung is used for fertility of the soil. It is also used for the control of pest in the plants. When heated cow dung can be used to cook food where there are lack of wood available. Also when it is heated it releases the gases which kills germs present in the air.
Answer:
The cow eats plants and produces carbon dioxide through cellular respiration. The plants, which gain energy from the sun, then take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and use it in photosynthesis.
