Answer:

Option B) study information related to the Cenozoic era

Explanation:

The complete question is

Scientists discovered that the Eocene time period existed in Earths history around 34 MYA. What do they need to do to determine what time period Eocene belongs to on the geologic time scale?

A) learn what happened during Precambrian time

B) study information related to the Cenozoic era

C) view the timing of events in the Mesozoic era

D) research events that happened during the Paleozoic era

Solution -

The period of Eocene belong to the Cenozoic era. The Cenozoic era is divided into three periods-

a) The Paleogene – Existed between 65.5 to 23.03 million years ago

b) The Neogene - Existed between 23.03 to 2.6 million years ago

c) The Quaternary – Started some 2.6 million years ago and is continuing till present

The Paleogene is subdivided into three epochs –

A) The Paleocene – existed between 65.5 to 55.8 million years ago

B) The Eocene – existed between 55.8 to 33.9 million years ago and

C) The Oligocene – existed between 33.9 to 23.03 million years ago

Hence, studying about Cenozoic era will give information about the Eocene epoch

Hence, option B is correct

5.1 billion metric tons of carbon is emitted by U.S as compared to other countries which emits about 32.5 billion metric tons of carbon.

Explanation:

U.S emits about 5.1 billion metric tons of carbon in the atmosphere which contribute in air pollution also helps in rising the temperature of the earth atmosphere because carbondioxide is a green house gas which increases the earth temperature. The main reason of high amount of carbon emission is the high number of industries and more fossil fuels is burnt in the engines of vehicles.

Which pair of terms concerning the osmotic effect of a solution on red blood cells is mismatched?

QveST [7]

Even though there are no choices given in this particular question, the principle of osmosis is very easy to understand.

When we talk about osmosis, we are referring to the movement of water from a low concentration to a higher concentration. This is different from diffusion, which talks specifically about the movement of solutes in the solution (from a higher concentration to a lower concentration.)

When an RBC is placed inside a hypertonic solution, the water inside the RBC will go out thereby shrinking the RBC.

Inside an isotonic solution, the RBC will remain the same because the concentrations are equal.

Inside a hypotonic solution, the RBC will lyse or explode because water will move from the solution going inside the RBC.
