Why would carbon 14 not be useful for dating something in the precambrian era?

Biology
1 answer:
erastova [34]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Not good for such old age

Explanation:

Carbon 14's half-life is about 5,700 years.  So, it cannot be used to date something more recent than that.  Also, due to the decay, it cannot be used on items older than about 50,000 years.

Then youngest a sample from the precambrian era could be is about 541,000,000 years (541 millions), so it's WAY past the range of use of Carbon 14, since there wouldn't be any carbon 14 left in the sample to evaluate the age through C14's half-life cycle.

15Points !<br> define the mississipian period and give two major events
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

the Devonian ended with a series of glaciations and extinction events, the early Mississippian saw the Earth in a greenhouse climate state with warm temperatures over much of the globe. Gondwana continued its northward drift and collision with Euramerica, building the Appalachian Mountains. The Mississippian culture was a Native American civilization that flourished in what is now the Midwestern, Eastern, and Southeastern United States from approximately 800 CE to 1600 CE, varying regionally. It was known for building large, earthen platform mounds, and often other shaped mounds as well.The Mississippian is so named because rocks with this age are exposed in the Mississippi Valley. The Mississippian was a period of marine transgression in the Northern Hemisphere: the sea level was so high that only the Fennoscandian Shield and the Laurentian Shield were dry land.

What genus of protists appears to contradict the statement that unicellularity restricts cell size?
Soloha48 [4]

The correct answer is D. Caulerpa

Explanation:

Protists are a type of unicellular organisms that are eukaryotic which means they contain a defined nucleus but that are not plants, animals or fungus. Considering protists only contain one cell in most of the cases they are small or restricted in size this includes Dictyostelium which are microscopic organisms that consume bacteria and plasmodium. However, in the case of Caulerpa, these are not limited to size as Caulerpa is a type of alga that has macroscopic cells and indeed in some cases can be around 3 meters long. On the other hand, Ulva is also an alga but is considered in the plants' domain and therefore is not a protist. Therefore the one that contradicts contradict the statement that unicellularity restricts cell size in protists is the Caulerpa.
