Answer:

Considering the following case:

Carbon-14 has a half life of 5,770 years. A fossil was found that had 1/32 of its original Carbon-14 remaining.

The fossil is 28.850 years old.

Explanation:

The reason behind this is that in the first place we need to understand that 1/32 equals 1/2^5 or in other words 5 times. So we then have to multiply the half-life for 5 times and we will obtain 28,850 years as a result because the half-life for carbon-14 is 5,770 In our case it is different as in the majority of them because 5,730 is more often used as the reference value of half-life.

Komok [63]

Answer:

The activity of Bromine will reduce

Explanation:

Bromine is found in pineapple stem with pH range of 3.5- 5.2 this implies that the environment where bromine is found is acidic hence when taken to a product whose pH is 11 which is basic then its performance will be low because its can only function well in an acidic medium.

pH ranges tell whether a substance is acidic, basic or neural.

Acid range from 3.5-6

7- neutral

8 above is basic

Moss is an example of which type of plant?
defon

Answer: diplontic plant

Explanation:

The mosses belongs to the phylum of non-vascular plants. They produce spores instead of seeds. They do not produce flowers, true roots and wood. They do not posses a vascular system. They exhibit a diplontic life cycle. The diplontic life cycle involves the formation of diploid gametes. In mosses the diplontic life cycle the mosses produces diploid cells and in only one stage they produce haploid cells.

A.

The mitochondria is the site of the aerobic respiration in the eukaryotic organism. The mitochondria uses the glucose and the oxygen molecules to form the carbon dioxide, water and ATP (adenosine triphosphate) molecule.

The equation for the aerobic respiration is given below:

C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}+6O_{2}\rightarrow 6CO_{2} + 6H_{2}O

Glucose + oxygen\rightarrowcarbon dioxide + water

All the reaction takes place in the mitochondria, Hence, the givenb lanks can be filled as follows:

1. glucose

2. oxygen

3. carbon dioxide

4. water

5. ATP

B.

The process shown in the figure is aerobic respiration. In the given figure, the mitochondria is shown, the mitochondria is the site of aerobic respiration. The mitochondria obtain the glucose and the oxygen molecule present in the cytoplasm of the cell. The complete aerobic respiration takes place in three steps glycolysis, Kreb cycle and electron transport. In the glycolysis, the glucose is converted into pyruvate. In the Krebs cycle, the pyruvate is oxidised in acetyl-CoA, which undergoes a sequence of reaction giving out ATP from ADP. In the electron transport chain, the NADH as well as succinate, which is formed in the citric acid cycle or Krebs cycle are oxidized, which provides the energy to power ATP synthase (the enzyme involved in the creation of storage of ATP).
