Answer: The contractile vacuole found in the single cell organism helps in the movement of water from inside to outside of the cell.

In case of single celled organism, the process of homeostasis is performed by the help of vacuoles.

When there is an excess of water inside the cell and there is an imbalance in the solute concentrations inside the cell.

In this case, vacuoles helps in pumping the water out of the cell. This is how homeostasis is maintained inside the cell.

What do scientists use to mark boundaries in the geologic time scale?

tekilochka [14]

Era is used to mark the boundaries of geological time scale by using radio carbon dating technique.

Explanation:

Geological time starts with Precambrian time.

Geologically, time is divided between the Precambrian era and present time into era.

The three eras are Paleozoic era, Triassic period and Cenozoic era.

Era is further divided into periods.

Scientists use radio carbon dating to study fossils and rock formation. With this study they were able to divide them in exact geological scale.

Geologic scale is the record of events in earth's history and evolution.

Drag and drop the molecules and numbers into the boxes to create a balanced chemical reaction.

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

H₂ + Cl₂ ---> 2 HCl

Explanation:

It looks like the reactants are not allowed to have coefficients (not enough boxes), so you need to pick reactants and products that satisfy this condition. The only ones that appear to fit are:

H₂ + Cl₂ ---> 2 HCl
