Explain how the process of radioactive decay is used to accurately date fossils.

Biology
1 answer:
ASHA 777 [7]3 years ago
7 0

Absolute dating is used to determine a precise age of a rock or fossil through radiometric dating methods. This uses radioactive minerals that occur in rocks and fossils almost like a geological clock. ... Then after another 5,000 years half of the remaining parent isotope will have decayed.

Hope it helps:)

What is the meaning of life?
Vikki [24]
Your life purpose consists of the central motivating aims of your life the reasons you get up in the morning.

Purpose can guide life decisions, influence behavior, shape goals, offer a sense of direction, and create meaning. For some people, purpose is connected to vocation—meaningful, satisfying work. For others, their purpose lies in their responsibilities to their family or friends. Others seek meaning through spirituality or religious beliefs. Some people may find their purpose clearly expressed in all these aspects of life.

Purpose will be unique for everyone; what you identify as your path may be different from others. What’s more, your purpose can actually shift and change throughout life in response to the evolving priorities and fluctuations of your own experiences

How does the structure of a brain cell related to its function?
lesya [120]

Solution:

Structure dictates function. Ribosomes provide another good example of structure determining function. These small cellular components are made of protein and ribosomal RNA (RNA).Their main function is to translate messenger RNA, or mRNA, into strings of amino acids called proteins.

The structure and shape of each type of human cell depends on what function it will perform in the body. For example, red blood cells (RBCs) are very small, flat discs, which allows them to easily fit through narrow capillaries and around sharp corners in the circulatory system to deliver oxygen throughout the body.

Neurons carry messages from the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body, using electrical signals down their lengths and chemical signals between neurons. Since electrical signals travel much faster than chemical signals, neurons are long and thin to minimize the number of slower chemical signals that would be required between links in a chain of many shorter neurons.

The elongated shape of muscle cells allows the contraction proteins to line up in an overlapping pattern that makes muscle flexing possible.

And human sperm cells’ structures allow them to “swim” long distances to reach an egg for fertilization. They do this by using flagella, their long whip-like tails, and also by being very small, carrying little more than the DNA for a potential zygote.

This is the required answer.
