What characteristic of radioactive decay makes it useful for determining the absolute age of samples?

Answer:

Option A, occurs at a constant rate

Explanation:

It becomes easy to determine the age of any radioactive substance when the rate of decay is constant and its starting and presents mass is known.

For example - if we know that the mass of a radioactive substance is 100 Kg few years back , but its present mass is 10 Kg. Then if we know the value of rate of decay, we can easily determine the age of substance based on the logarithmic equation as given below

A_t= A_0*e^{kt}

Where A_t is the mass of radioactive substance at time t

A_0 is the mass of radioactive substance at time t=0

t is the time in years and

k is the decay constant.

Hence, option A is correct.

If you want to see something in fine detail, you should focus the light on which part of your retina?
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

If you want to see something in fine detail, you should focus the light the cornea. The lens works together with the cornea to focus light correctly on retina.

When light hit on retina special cells called photo receptors turn the light into electrical signals. The lens are the clear part of eyes behind the iris that help to focus light and image on retina to see something clearly.Lens is the important part of eye when it comes to focusing light so that we can see perfect clear image.

The retina is the most sensitive part which can effect by more light because retina convert incoming light into electrical impulse.

What effect does the increased temperature have on the ecology and distribution of plant species
Aliun [14]

Hello!

Higher temperature affects plants’ growth especially in temperate crops like wheat. It reduces the growth of shoots and roots in plants. This, in turn, results in a substantial reduction in the overall height of the plant. High air temperature can lead to dehydration and scorched leaves.

In general, the increase of temperature would cause a damage in ecology of a certain area as most plants would not be able to adapt to this change. This, in turn, will affect the distribution of such plant species as they would die off unless placed in an environment with more favorable conditions.

The diagram represents a model of DNA replication.
mr_godi [17]

Although there is no attachment, the best answer would be option B.

DNA replication occurs in opposite directions along a strand of DNA.

The leading strand is replicated continuously in the 5' to 3' direction towards the replication fork.

The lagging strand is replicated discontinuously in the 5' to 3' with segments of DNA known as Okazaki fragments.

I need help on this-
Sergio [31]

Answer:

Sedimentary rocks are types of rock that are formed by the accumulation or deposition of mineral or organic particles at the Earth's surface, followed by cementation. Sedimentation is the collective name for processes that cause these particles to settle in place.

Igneous rock (derived from the Latin word ignis meaning fire), or magmatic rock, is one of the three main rock types, the others being sedimentary and metamorphic. Igneous rock is formed through the cooling and solidification of magma or lava.

Metamorphic rocks were once igneous or sedimentary rocks, but have been changed (metamorphosed) as a result of intense heat and/or pressure within the Earth's crust. They are crystalline and often have a “squashed” (foliated or banded) texture.
