Answer:
Food waste
Explanation:
Food waste is an organic compound, unlike the other choices. Organic compounds are biodegradable because living organisms, such as decomposers, have evolved mechanisms of breaking down these large carbon-based compounds/polymers into smaller molecules for energy. Food waste is therefore easily recycled into the environment.
The others do not have naturally occurring organisms to break them down or reduce them. They would, therefore, accumulate in the environment. This is exactly what is happening to plastc pollution. Accumulation of plastic in the environment is due to fact that they are not broken down into simpler molecules by any naturally occurring bacteria or organisms in the environment.
Answer:
C.
Explanation:
Absolute dating is defined as the method used to determine the age of biotic or abiotic things on a specified chronology in geology and archaeology.
Layers of the soil are used to determine the age of a geologic event is not a form of absolute dating because the deepest river deposits in the specific basin is used to determine the geological event.
So, the deposits of soil are used to tell the the age of a geologic event and not the layers of soil.
Hence, the correct option is C.
Answer:
This exercise is incomplete, missing the value of k (decay constant), which is equal to 4x10⁻⁸s⁻¹ at 25°C
The answer is 0.549 years
Explanation:
Given:
first order of reaction
k = 4x10⁻⁸s⁻¹
For a first order of reaction, the half-life time for the degradation of DDT is equal to:
