The caloric value of food refers to the amount of energy that is produced as a result of complete combustion of that food under normal conditions.
Foods have energy which are stored in the chemical bonds that hold their molecules together. This stored energy is released when the chemical bonds are broken during metabolic processes such as respiration. The amount of energy in different foods differ and  the quantity of energy in the chemical bonds that hold the food molecules together will determine the amount of energy that will be obtained from the food. 
 In most food molecules, the chemical bond that hold the food molecules together is C-H bond. C-H bond is a strong covalent bond which give stability to the food molecule. The higher the chemical energy that is stored in this bond, the higher the caloric value of food. Thus, the calorific value of food is depended on the quantity of energy that reside in the C-H bond.

Animal cells are placed in an isotonic solution. THEN, additional amounts of solute are added to the solution. What happens to t
Nitella [24]

Answer:

The animal cell will shrink due to loss of water to the external solution

Explanation:

An isotonic solution is that solution which has equal concentration with its external environment. Hence, no net movement of water occurs in an isotonic solution since there is no concentration gradient. Therefore, if an animal cell is placed in an isotonic solution at first, no net movement of water occurs because the intracellular and extracellular concentrations are at equilibrium.

However, if more solutes are added to the solution, it makes the solution HYPERTONIC to the cell i.e greater in concentration. This creates an osmotic gradient and causes water to move out of the animal cell into the solution in accordance to osmotic principles (movement of water from a low concentration of solute to high concentration of solute). This causes the animal cell to likely SHRINK.

Answer:

1. Radiometric dating

2. Relative dating is used to determine the age of fossils or rock layers by by comparing it to similar rocks and fossils of known ages.

3. The youngest rock layers are at the top and the oldest are at the bottom, which is according to the law of superposition.

4. Tribolite and Pecten fossils

Fossils are used to determine the ages of rock layers. Index fossils are the most useful in determining relative aging. Index fossils are of organisms that lived for a short period of time. An index fossil allows a scientist to determine the age of the rock it is in. So if they are found in a particular age, it means they belong in that age.

5. Scientists commonly use radioactive dating methods by using radioactive decay cloak of certain elements such as potassium or carbon to date fossils or rocks.

6. Law of superposition because in terms of finding the age of the rock as an object, all that needs to be identified are the layers of the rock.

7. The nuclear decay of radioactive elements are a process that behaves in a clock-like fashion which makes it a useful tool for determining the exact age of fossils or rocks.
