How does carbon dating tell us how old a bone is ?

Biology
1 answer:
Anestetic [448]3 years ago
5 0

carbon dating shows how old a bone is by measuring the amount of carbon 12, and carbon 14 that the bone contains. and because carbon 14 is not replaced by exchange with the atmosphere the ratio of c12:c14 (the ratio of carbon 12 to carbon 14) tells how old the bone is by comparing the amount of carbon 14 to the amount of carbon 12. carbon 14 has a half life of 5,700 years, while carbon 12 is stable and does not radioactively decay at all.

This control of the internal environment is called homeostasis, and can be observed through the ____________ range of the body's
Semenov [28]

Answer: "homeostatic (dynamic equilibrium) range"

Homeostasis can be observed through the "homeostatic range (pre-set limits)" of the body's pH, temperature and blood glucose.

Explanation:

Homeostasis is the control of internal environment , physical and chemical conditions maintained by the living systems. A body takes control of its internal environment in spite of external forces interruptions. It can be defined as the body's defensive mechanisms.

Homeostasis is maintained and controlled by the nervous system.

Homeostasis is for optimal functioning of the internal environment such as body pH, body temperature, fluid balance, chemical ions balance (calcium, sodium and potassium) and blood glucose.

Body temperature is normally about 37.5° C (98.6° F).

Salt concentration in body fluids is normally about 0.9%

Blood glucose is normally about 10 mg/ml.

A disturbed (imbalanced body as a result of external forces) body regains its haemostasis balance by

Activating reflexes that fight the disturbance and maintaining behaviours to counteract the disturbance.
