Answer: Option (C)

Explanation: The rocks at the continental crust are present since a long time, and the oldest rocks so far encountered from the continental crust is approximately 4.4 billion years old.

          This has been determined by the Uranium-Lead dating method (Ur₂₃₈-Pb₂₀₆).

Oceanic rocks are estimated to be of very recent age i.e about only 180 million years old.

(hi, i dont know about this one personally, but i found an answer somewhere else on the internet thatll hopefully help u)

Answer: They consist of long chains of C, H, and O.

Explanation:

In terms of chemical composition, lipids differ from nucleic acids and proteins because they mostly just contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen (except for phospholipids which of course contain phosphorous). In addition to those elements, proteins contain nitrogen and sulfur, and nucleic acids contain nitrogen and phosphorous.

Carbohydrates share the C, H, and O composition as lipids, but they differ in structure. Lipids are generally exist as triglycerides, which consist of a triple hydroxyl alcohol (glycerol) that has bonded to three long-chain carboxylic acids (fatty acids) in a triple condensation reaction. Carbohydrates on the other hand are made of carbon ring structures that either remain alone or polymerize into long polysaccharide chains.

Why would you learn less about an organism if it is were isolated from its surroundings than if you were able to observe the sam
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

this one`s been up for debate for awhile now.

1. it depends on the organism

learning about an organism could be considered 'easier' to study in different ways. for example, if you are studying marine life, you will most likely have to keep it in a water habitat to watch it alive. If you are studying a land species, then watching from it`s natural habitat will give you more accurate results. sometimes the environment can affect an organisms internal systems more than you may think. this leads into my second point.

2. it depends on what you are trying to study

if you are trying to learn about the mating process, seasonal activity, migration, or external behavior, then monitoring it from it`s natural habitat or an area that is a close copy is your best option. but if you are looking into studying internal organs/systems or cells, then in <em>most</em> cases, the organism will need to be taken out of its natural habitat. only in very careful situations is it left in a habitat during examination.
