The Half life is the time taken for a radioisotope or a radioactive substance to decay by half its original amount. The half life of carbon 14 is 5600 years. 
Original mass is 100%
Remaining amount is 24% 
Therefore; 0.24 = 1 × (1/2)^n
                     n = log 0.24/log 0.5
                        = 2.06
therefore, the age of the fossil is 5600×2.06
 = 11529.8 
 ≈ 11529 years

Many repeating, simple subunits are joined together. What is the most likely
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

O a polymer

Explanation:

When many repeating simple subunits are joined together, this results into a polymer.

The simplest unit or smallest unit of any substance is called a monomer. When many units of a monomer joins together, a polymer results.

  • For proteins, the monomeric unit is amino-acid.
  • When they combine they form longer chain molecules called proteins.
  • For carbohydrates, the monomeric unit is called glucose.
  • When they are combined they give us a wide range of carbohydrate molecules.

One hundred million copper atoms are arranged in a line. Which is a reasonable estimate for the length of this line?
Anettt [7]
The size of an atom is roughly 10^-10 metres

10^-10 • 100,000,000 = 0.01 metres

Since 1 metre = 100 centimetre

0.01 x 100 = 1 centimetre
