Where do most producers get their energy from?

2 answers:

4 0

Producers are autotrophic organisms that contain chlorophyll used to trap heat and light energy from the sun to obtain food which is glucose. when they are eaten, they pass 90% of their energy to the 1st consumers.

Producers get most of their energy from the sun as they are autotrophic, meaning that they contain chlorophyll which they use to make their food through photosynthesis.

What is the difference between malthusian growth and logistic growth?

alexandr402 [8]

The biggest difference, however, is that the line in the logistic growth graph changes direction and begins to level off as it nears the carrying capacity. That means that the main difference between exponential and logistic growth is that logistic growth takes into account carrying capacity. hope that helped

Which of the following is a scientific statement?

skad [1K]

The correct answer is D. According to DNA comparisons, humans share a common ancestor with chimpanzees.

Explanation

A scientific statement is a statement made based on scientific evidence, that is, a scientific statement is the result of several tests focused on testing a hypothesis or proposal. These scientific statements can be developed in different areas of knowledge such as science, biology, physics, mathematics, geometry, among others. they are also predominant in the exact sciences because in the human sciences it is complicated to establish scientific statements because human behavior does not obey exact laws. According to this definition, option D. is the correct answer because it refers to DNA tests between humans and chimpanzees and therefore this is based on scientific evidence and tests.

The bones from an animal found at an archaeological dig have a C614 activity of 0.10 Bq per gram of carbon. The half-life of C61

erastova [34]

C14 is an isotope used in radiocarbon dating techniques to date organic matter remains. The age of these bones is approximately 6890 years.

<h3>What is Carbon 14?</h3>

Carbon 14, also known as radiocarbon, is a radioactive carbon isotope.

Isotopes are the atoms of the same element -carbon- that vary in neutrons and, hence, in their massic number. They are alternative forms of the same element.

The radioactive C14 nucleus contains 6 protons and 8 neutrons and has a half-life of 5730 years.

The term half-life is a reference. It means that an organism that has been dead for 5730 years has half the C14 amount or concentration than the same organism had when it was alive.

Knowing the half-life of an element is useful to determine the age of the dead matter.

C14 is used in radiocarbon dating techniques or methods to estimate the age of fossils. This is a reliable technique used for dating organic samples that are less than 50,000 years old.

Available data:

The half-life of C14 is 5730 years
Bones activity of 0.10 Bq per gram of carbon

To answer this question we can make use of the following equation

Ln (C14T₁/C14 T₀) = - λ T₁

Where,

C14 T₀ ⇒ Amount of carbon in a living body. We know, by bibliography, that living organism activity is 0.23 Bq per gram of carbon. So, C14 T₀ = 0.23 Bq/g

C14T₁ ⇒ Amount of carbon in the dead body. C14T₁ = 0.1 Bq/g

λ ⇒ radioactive decay constant = (Ln2)/T₀,₅

T₀,₅ ⇒ The half-life of carbon 14 = 5730 years

T₀ = Time when the organism was alive

T₁ = Age of bones

Let us first calculate the radioactive decay constant.

λ = (Ln2)/T₀,₅

λ = 0.693/5730

λ = 0.0001209

Now, let us calculate the first term in the equation

Ln (C14T₁/C14 T₀) = Ln (0.1/0.23) = Ln 0.4347 = - 0.833

Finally, let us replace the terms, clear the equation, and calculate the value of T₁.

Ln (C14T₁/C14 T₀) = - λ T₁

- 0.833 = - 0.0001209 x T₁

T₁ = - 0.833 / - 0.0001209

T₁ = 6889.99 ≅ 6890 years

The bones are approximately 6890 years.
