Answer: Carbon 12 and Carbon 13

In plant, the ratio of carbon 12 and carbon 13 isotopes is different depending upon the plant photosynthesis. The distribution of these isotopes in plant tissue can indicate the path way of carbon metabolism that is either C3 fixation or C4 fixation. This help scientist to know if the plant consumed by organism is C3 plant or C4 plant by measuring the isotopic signature of their collagen and other tissues.

This can help scientist know which plant is consumed by animals.

<h2>Type of Plant an Organisam Consumed - Option A</h2>

Carbon 13 and Carbon 12 can scientists use to determine the type of plant an organism consumed. Carbon 12 and 13 are isotopes of carbon. In the plant, the ratio of carbon 12 and carbon 13 isotopes is not same it just depends upon the plant photosynthesis.

The division of these isotopes in plant tissue can show the pathway of carbon metabolism that can be C3 fixation or C4 fixation. From this, the scientist can determine which animal consumed plant is C3 plant or C4 plant by estimating the isotopes of their collagen and other tissues.

What are the pros and cons of having the digestion be slower and over distance, as opposed to being quicker and over shorter dis
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

Explanation: When you have a slow digestive system, a condition known as gastroparesis or delayed stomach emptying, these muscles don't work properly. They either contact too slowly or don't work at all and, as a result, your stomach doesn't empty properly.

Eating slowly also helps our digestion. Think of digestion as a chain reaction. As soon as we see, smell, or think about food (step 1), we start salivating to prepare for putting that food in our mouth (step 2). Saliva contains enzymes that break the food down, and moistens the mouth for easier swallowing.

topjm [15]

Answer:

Avoid using killed vaccine for administration.

Explanation:

Bruton's agammaglobulinemia may be defined as the X linked disorder that affects the immune system of an individual. This disease is mainly caused by the mutation in the gene responsible for coding the  Bruton tyrosine kinase.

The children suffering from this disease require special immunization and some precaution must be followed before immunizing them. These patients are not allowed to immunizes with the live vaccines as these vaccines can evoke the immune response strongly and child may get infected by the disease. The individual should not given immunosuppressive drugs or corticosteroids.

Thus, the answer is avoid using killed vaccine for administration.
