Atoms of carbon-14 are radioactive. They decay into atoms of the element nitrogen. Suppose that a sample of rock is taken from a fossil. The sample has 1000 atoms of carbon-14 and 1000 atoms of nitrogen.
If carbon-14 has a half-life of 57-- years, how old is the fossil?
A. 11,400 years old
B. 5700 years old
C. 2850 years old
D. 17,100 years old.
The half life of carbon -14 is 5730 years. The carbon -14 undergoes decays to form nitrogen -14. 1000 atoms of nitrogen is formed from 1000 atoms of carbon. Hence carbon -14 decayed from 2000 atoms to 1000. Therefore it is decayed by one half life and the age of the sample is about 5700 years or more accurately 5730 years.
What is radioactive decay?Unstable radioactive isotopes of atoms undergo spontaneous nuclear decay by the emission of charged particles such as alpha or beta. The time required to decay half of the initial amount of the isotope is called half life.
Carbon -14 undergo beta decay and the nuclear reaction is given as follows:
[tex]\rm _{6} ^{14}C \rightarrow _{7}^{14}N + _{-1}^{0}e[/tex]
Thus, one carbon atom is converted one nitrogen atom. Hence, 1000 nitrogen atoms are formed from 1000 carbon atoms. The remaining number of carbon atoms in the rock sample is 1000. Thus, the initial amount was 2000.
The half life of carbon -14 is about 5700 years. Hence, it takes 5700 years to decay from 2000 to 1000 atoms. Therefore, option B is correct.

Explanation:
Which organisms were the least numerous? Why? (In a forest environment!)
Because top consumers have less energy than producers, there is only enough food for a few top level consumers, but there is plenty of food for herbivores lower down the food chain.
What is forest ecosystem?Forest ecology is the scientific study of forest patterns, processes, flora, fauna, and ecosystems. Forest management includes forestry, silviculture, and forest management.
The existence of all species in the forest in a well-balanced and environmentally friendly manner is the function of the forest ecosystem.
Forest ecosystems are classified as boreal, temperate, or tropical rainforest ecosystems.
The transfer of energy from one trophic level to the next, up the food chain, is shaped like a pyramid, with the base being wider and the top being narrower.
Because of this inefficiency, there is only enough food for a few top-tier consumers, but plenty for herbivores lower down the food chain.
Thus, top consumers were the least numerous.

students are modeling mRNA during the process of protein synthesis. which answer choice correctly describes the model of mRNA strand being transcribed
Answer:
This question lacks options, the options are:
A. the mRNA strand is complementary to the DNA template strand; however, uracil instead of adenine is paired with thymine
B. the mRNA strand is complementary to the DNA template strand; however, uracil instead of thymine is paired with adenine
C. the mRNA strand is an exact copy of the DNA template strand; however uracil instead of adenine is paired with thymine
D. the mRNA strand is an exact copy of the DNA template strand; however, uracil instead of thymine is paired with adenine
The answer is B
Explanation:
Protein synthesis which encompasses how gene is used to synthesize proteins consists of two processes namely; transcription and translation.
- Transcription is the process whereby the sequence of a DNA template is used to synthesize a mRNA strand. The mRNA sequence is synthesized using the COMPLEMENTARY BASE PAIRING RULE, which states that Adenine base (A) will always hydrogen pair with Thymine (T) while Guanine (G) will always pair with Cytosine (C).
This means that the mRNA strand produced is complementary to the DNA template strand that was transcribed. However, Uracil base (U) replaces thymine (T) in the mRNA molecule because Thymine is not found in RNA. Hence, Uracil instead of Thymine pairs with Adenine in the mRNA.
That is;
A - U, T - A, G - C.

D The enhancer is a unique DNA segment that is added to the nuclear DNA of some cells of an organism during the process of mitotic cell division but not other cells.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
The activator is a sequence-specific DNA-binding protein that is present in some tissues but not in other tissues. The correct option is C.
What is gene expression?Gene expression is the process through which a gene's information is used to create a functioning gene product, allowing it to produce end products like proteins or non-coding RNA and ultimately have an impact on phenotypes.
Because a particular protein can only be made when its gene is turned on, gene expression is significant.
However, there are several steps involved in translating a gene into a protein, and one of these steps—the creation of proteins—is crucial in the gene expression pathway that can be changed in cancer.
According to the diagram, the activator is a DNA-binding protein that only binds to certain sequences in select tissues.
Thus, the correct option is C.

how is making stuff with mud is science?? someone plss helpp plss
Answer:
Making stuff with mud is science because these are experiments used to establish facts and principles about mud and/or the different types of soil constituting the mud
Explanation:
Science is a discipline that studies the establishment of facts, principles and methods through experimentation and instills processes of investigations to learners. Making stuff with mud can be used to establish facts and principles e.g clay soil has smooth and fine particles and has high adhesive forces of attraction with water and hence will make longer and thinner ribbons while sand has large rough particles which make large and chubby (I couldn't think of another word) ribbons due to the weak adhesive forces between the particles and water.

Cells cannot grow forever. Rather than just die, what do you think they do when they get too big?
Answer:
Well they grow up to a certain limit, so they divide into smaller cells. they do that because if the cell grows really big and it would be more difficult to get sufficient amounts of oxygen and nutrients in and waste products out, so the cell has to stop growing before this happens.

Answers: examples of host defence mechanism include: Innate anatomical and physiological barriers, Innate cellular and chemical defenses.
Explanation:
The capability of the human body to resist almost all types of organisms or toxins that tend to damage the tissues and organs is known as IMMUNITY. This host defence mechanism can be classified into INNATE or adaptive immunity.
The immunity that results from general processes, rather than from processes directed at specific disease organisms is called the INNATE IMMUNITY. The anatomical and physiological barriers of the innate immunity provides the first line of defence against pathogens. Examples of these barriers of the innate immunity includes:
--> Destruction of swallowed organisms by the low stomach pH and digestive enzymes
--> The vigorous mucociliary clearance mechanisms of the respiratory airways and lungs.
--> Resistance of the skin to invasion by organisms
While examples of innate cellular and chemical defenses include:
--> Phagocytosis of bacteria and other invaders by white blood cells and cells of the tissue macrophage System
--> lysozymes, a mucolytic polysaccharide that attacks bacteria and cause them to dissolute.
--> basic polypeptides which react and inactivate certain types of gram- positive bacteria
-->natural killer lymphocytes that can recognize and destroy foreign and tumor cells.

Albinism results from mutations in an individual's DNA. Explain how that ultimately results in an non-functional protein. Use all of the terms from your flowchart above in your explanation. Also include locations and any enzymes involved. **TERMS USED: "transcription, translation, amino acid(s), protein, gene, mRNA, tRNA, trait "
Answer:
Please find the explanation below
Explanation:
Albinism which is a condition characterized by the lack of skin pigment is caused by a mutation in the nucleotide sequence that encodes the melanin protein. However, this mutated gene undergoes TRANSCRIPTION into a mutated mRNA sequence, and subsequently undergoes TRANSLATION into a mutated amino acid sequence.
The amino acid sequence results in a non-functional protein as the nucleotide sequence of the original DNA has been altered. This non-functionality of the mutated protein results in ALBINISM TRAIT.
