Why is radiometric dating of Carbon not a useful means to determine the age of the earth? What should we use instead of Carbon?

Biology
1 answer:
noname [10]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Geologists do not use carbon-based radiometric dating to determine the age of rocks. Carbon dating only works for objects that are younger than about 50,000 years, and most rocks of interest are older than that

Answer:

1) Binds soil particles into aggregates and improves the water holding capacity of soil.

2) When carbon dioxide dissolves in seawater, most of it becomes bicarbonate ions and hydrogen ions. This increase in hydrogen ions is what decreases the pH.

3) Carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases act like a blanket, absorbing IR radiation and preventing it from escaping into outer space. The net effect is the gradual heating of Earth's atmosphere and surface, a process known as global warming.

Without greenhouse gases in its atmosphere , the Earth would be much colder on average than it is now. Greenhouse gases: absorb energy transferred as infrared radiation from the Earth's surface. release infrared radiation in all directions, which keeps the Earth warm.

How would shoot and root growth be affected by a mutation that caused plants to lose the ability to polymerize glucose into star
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

b) Lateral branch shoots would grow more horizontally and have less of a tendency to turn upward.

d) Lateral branch roots fully embedded in soil would grow randomly upward and downward.

e) Roots breaking the soil surface would grow upward.

Explanation:

Inside the amyloplasts of the common bean the starch granules resemble variously sized cotton balls stuffed into a balloon. Under normal circumstances amyloplasts do nothing more than sit on the bottom of special gravity-sensing cells. When a plant is knocked over, the amyloplasts slide from what was recently the bottom of the cell onto a formerly vertical wall. Somehow, this movement is sensed and relayed to cells that secrete the growth-regulating plant hormone auxin.

Since the plant has lost the ability to transform glucose into the granules. The plant can´t differentiate between up or down because gravity is what causes these granules to settle down.

Is the lumen of an artery, capillary or vein, large or small? Why?
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Arteries have thick walls composed of three distinct layers (tunica) Veins have thin walls but typically have wider lumen (lumen size may vary depending on specific artery or vein) Capillaries are very small and will not be easily detected under the same magnification as arteries and veins.

The faster a cheetah can run, the more likely it is to capture its prey. Cheetahs with longer legs are able to run faster than t
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

This is the more likely explanation, as there must be a limit to leg length in an animal that has to run very fast and strain their muscles and bones to the limit to do so.

As for the other options, there is no evidence to conclude that the genes that are involved in cheetahs leg length do not undergo mutation because the population exhibits a variety of leg lengths. Neither can we conclude that there are any isolated subgroups in the pupulation. Natural selection does act upon the traits involved in predation, as the question starts by saying that the faster a cheetah can run the more likely it is to capture its prey.
