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.

What is the basic difference between simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion across a cell membrane? hints?
Licemer1 [7]

Simple diffusion is the process by which a substance moves across a cell membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Substances that move by simple diffusion are able to diffuse directly across the phospholipid bilayer of the cell membrane. These substances are generally small and neutral, as large or charged particles cannot cross the phospholipid bilayer. Some examples of molecules that move by simple diffusion are carbon dioxide and oxygen.  

Facilitated diffusion is the process by which a substance moves across a cell membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration with the aid of a membrane protein. Substances that move by facilitated diffusion are not able to diffuse directly across the phospholipid bilayer of the cell membrane. These substances are generally large and/or charged. They therefore travel through a protein channel in the cell membrane along their concentration gradient. Some examples of substances that can move by facilitated diffusion are glucose, sodium ions and chloride ions.  

The similarities between facilitated diffusion and simple diffusion are:  

They both involve the movement of a substance across a cell membrane along its concentration gradient (from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration).  

They are both examples of passive transport, as neither requires energy from the cell to move the substance across the membrane.

Survival of the fittest is talking about when you have traits that will help you, you are more likely to live rather than not having those traits. For example, a bird that swims a lot has webbed feet so it has a better chance of surviving then a bird who does not have webbed feet
