Answer:

A)11,460 years

Explanation:half of a radioactive element represent the time take for half of it's components to dissociate or disintegrate.

For carbonn14 that undergo an emmision to form a stable carbon 14,it moves thus

14C(1 part) ______14C(0.5 parts)_____14C(0.25parts)

i.e it undergo two radioactive decay which means two half lives .

Since each half life is 5780 years ,the age will be 2×half lives= 2×5780=11,460 years

Unsaturated fats though do have at least a minimum of 1 carbon to carbon double and or triple bond for the inverse or opposite explanation of what was mentioned, that it does not have the maximum number of hydrogen atoms within the internal and or external carbon atoms in the structure of the organic compound.

k0ka [10]

Depolarization is to excitation, while Hyperpolarization is to inhibition.

Option 4 is correct.

Hyperpolarization is opposite of Depolarization.

Depolarization is a process by which cells undergo a change in membrane potential. It is a process of shift in electric charge that results in less negative charge inside the cell.

Hyperpolarization is when the membrane potential becomes more negative at a particular spot on the neuron’s membrane.
