Answer and Explanation:

It's very important to assume that the rate of radioactive decay will remain constant over time to make scientists' lives easier when calculating the ages of fossils, compounds, etc.

If the rate changes, it would be extremely challenging for people to figure out the relative ages of rock strata, fossils, or other substances with radioactive elements in them. This is a fundamental assumption in order to be able to use radioactive dating.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

BRAINLIEST PLEASE!!!

A = Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum

B = Vacuole

C = Mitochondria (Plural)

D = Nucleolus

E = Cell Wall

Explanation:

This is obviously a plant cell. Animal cells do not have cell walls(E), and most animal cells will not have a vacuole(B). Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum: This produces protiens (contains ribosomes) but when looked through a microscope, will appear to be smooth. The vacuole(B) is like a storage for the plant cell, and it helps support the plant cell. This is the reason why plants “droop” when you don’t water them for a long time. Mitochondia (Plural) processes nutrients for the cell. The nucleolus(D) covers the nucleus. It’s main function is to process RNA and combine it with proteins. The cell wall(E) helps support and protect the cell.
