Answer:Radiometric dating allows us to indirectly date fossils up to billions of years old based on minerals in surrounding volcanic strata. The correct option is D.

Explanation:

Radiometric dating was first used by geologist after being published by Bertram Bollywood in 1907. During volcanic eruption, some minerals ( carbon) are trapped within the volcanic strata. These minerals are made up of radioactive isotopes which are unstable as they form decay products with a known constant rate of decay. This enables them to :

- access information about the absolute age of rocks,

- date a wide range of natural and man-made materials

- know even the age of earth. I hope this helps. Thanks

Answer: Option D.

Radiometric dating allows to indirectly date up to billions of years old based on minerals in surrounding volcanic strata.

Explanation:

Radiometric dating is a way of measuring decay radioactive elements to determine the age of rocks or earth materials or organic origin based objects. It is an accurate way to know the age of earth or rocks because it is done based on radioactive decay of unstable isotopes. This was first used during volcanic eruptions when carbon was present in the volcanic strata.

katen-ka-za [31]

In photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is reduced. This reduction occurs during the Calvin cycle. The energy for the reduction is gained from Light reaction.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The pigment called Chloroplasts that are present in plants helps them in the conversion of light energy into chemical energy. This pigment contains electrons has higher energy that will be transported in the photosynthesis p[process.

The main source of this process to take place is energy that is obtained from sun. Chlorphylls abosrb the solar energy.The electrons in the chloroplast produces  NADPH and ATP. This process is called as  the light reactions as the main source of this reaction is light.
