Carbon-14 is useful to estimate the date of fossils that are less than 50,000 years old.
Option C
<u>Explanation:</u>
Carbon-14 is the best option to use by estimating the date of fossils that are below 50,000 years old. This is because the carbon-14' half-life is around 5730 years i.e. the existing Carbon-14 in the living bodies decays in 5730 years once they die.
That's the reason Carbon dating utilized to estimate the age of objects that are below 50,000 years old. Objects such as dead plants, wood or human artifacts that are younger than 50,000 years.
After the death of living beings, Carbon 12 and Carbon 14 existing in these organisms starts decaying by converting into Nitrogen. By estimating the leftover amount of carbon 14 in their bodies, scientists can evaluate their age.
Answer:
Explanation:
A saprophyte derives its nutrients and energy form the organic matter of dead organism, wheras a parasite lives in or on another living organism and derives its nutrients and energy from that living organism.
Saprophytes derives their nutrition by feeding on dead and decaying organisms. Most saprophytes are fungus. The energy needed for performing their life functions are sourced from dead organisms. All saprophytes are therefore heterotrophs and consumers in the food chain.
Parasites are organisms that derives their nutrition from their host. They completely depend on their host to provide nourishment for them. Most parasites on the long run harms their host. An example is tapeworm and pig.
Answer:
The calories Anna consumed for dinner is 315 kcal (300kcal). The calories that came from proteins is 108 kcal (100kcal).
Explanation:
Macronutrients are nutrients such as protein, carbohydrates, and fat that provide the energy required for the normal functioning of the body. Usually, the energy obtained from macronutrients is expressed in calories. Each gram of protein provides 4 kilocalories while each gram of fat provides 9 kilocalories. Carbohydrates per gram also provide 4 kilocalories.
Here, Anna consumed 7 grams of fat (in salmon)
, 36 grams of carbohydrates (in sweet potatoes and asparagus) and 27 grams of protein (in salmon, sweet potatoes, and asparagus) for the dinner.
Therefore, total calories in 7 grams of fat is 
kilocalories.
Total calories in 36 grams of carbohydrates is 
kilocalories.
Total calories in 27 grams of protein is 
kilocalories.
Therefore, the total calories Anna consumed for dinner is 
kilocalories i.e., 
kcal.
The calories that came from proteins is 
calories i.e., 
kcal.
Answer:
The correct answer is - phytic acid.
Explanation:
Phytic acid is a small molecule that available in various food such as seeds, beans, grains, and nuts that chelates specific minerals like iron, zinc, magnesium, and calcium.
High level of phytic acid in individual animals or humans like middle eastern populations even though they had a high amount of zinc in their diet. The high level of the phytic acid decreases the bioavailability of the nutrients and minerals.
Thus, the correct answer is - phytic acid.
