<span>The part of the ear where sound wave compressions and rarefactions cause the eardrum to vibrate is the middle ear. The 8th nerve in the inner ear actually converts the mechanical energy to electrical energy for transmitting to the brain. A membrane called the tympanic membrane separates the middle ear from the outer ear. Whenever a sound reaches the ear, it creates a sound wave that creates vibration in the eardrum. The pressure when high pushes the membrane inwards while low pressure sound waves helps the eardrum to come outwards.  </span>

What role does the pancreas play in digestion
victus00 [196]

Enzymes, or digestive juices, are secreted by the pancreas into the small intestine. There, it continues breaking down food that has left the stomach. The pancreas also produces the hormone insulin and secretes it into the bloodstream, where it regulates the body's glucose or sugar level.

andrezito [222]

I am pretty sure the answer is increase and increase. Because enzymes are affected by changes in pH. The most favorable pH value - the point where the enzyme is most active - is known as the optimum pH. Extremely high or low pH values generally result in complete loss of activity for most enzymes.

While alive, an organism absorbs (radioactive) carbon 14 at such a rate that the proportion of carbon 14 in the organism remains
Inga [223]

Answer:

The person has been dead for approximately 15,300 years

Explanation:

<u>Available data</u>:

  • The half-life of carbon 14 is 5,600 years
  • The human skeleton level of carbon 14 is 15% that of a living human

To answer this question we can make use of the following equation

Ln (C14T₁/C14 T₀) = - λ T₁

Where,

  • C14 T₀ ⇒ Amount of carbon in a living body at time 0 = 100%
  • C14T₁ ⇒ Amount of carbon in the dead body at time 1 = 15%
  • λ ⇒ radioactive decay constant = (Ln2)/T₀,₅
  • T₀,₅ ⇒ The half-life of carbon 14 = 5600 years
  • T₀ = 0
  • T₁ = ???

Let us first calculate the radioactive decay constant.

λ = (Ln2)/T₀,₅

λ = 0.693/5600

λ = 0.000123

Now, let us calculate the first term in the equation

Ln (C14T₁/C14 T₀) = Ln (15%/100%) = Ln 0.15 = - 1.89

Finally, let us replace the terms, clear the equation, and calculate the value of T₁.

Ln (C14T₁/C14 T₀) = - λ T₁

- 1.89 = - 0.000123 x T₁

T₁ = - 1.89 / - 0.000123

T₁ = 15,365 years

The person has been dead for approximately 15,300 years
