Answer:
After 6000 years, approximately 500 atoms of carbon-14 will be left in the femur bone of an animal which had 1000 atoms of carbon-14 when the animal died.
Explanation:
The half-life of a radioactive isotope of an element is the time taken for half the atoms present in a given amount of the element to undergo decay or disintegration. For example, the half-life of carbon-14 isotope is 5730 years. This means that, if there are 100 atoms of carbon-14 present in a given sample of a material, in the next 5730 years, approximately, 50 atoms of carbon-14 will be left in the material.
Since the half-life of radioactive isotopes are constant, these radioactive isotopes are used in the determining the ages of ancient life-forms as well as rocks.
In the given example, after 6000 years, approximately 500 atoms of carbon-14 will be left in the femur bone of an animal which had 1000 atoms of carbon-14 when the animal died.
Active and passive humoral immunity are both mechanisms of adaptive immunity that use antibodies. yes this is true
- Our adaptive immune system protects us from infection-related mortality. An new-born born with a significantly compromised adaptive immune system may die shortly unless extreme steps are taken to isolate it from a wide range of infectious agents such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites.
- The purpose of adaptive immunity is to eliminate invading infections as well as any harmful chemicals they create. Because these reactions are damaging, it is critical that they only occur in response to molecules that are alien to the host and not to molecules that are native to the host. The adaptive immune system's capacity to identify what is foreign from what is self is a fundamental feature.

Alyssa's additional observation would be cell Y having a larger vacuole than cell X. The third option is the correct one.
<h3>Plant cell vs animal cell</h3>
From the observations, both cells are eukaryotic. This is because:
- cell X has lysosomes which are only found in eukaryotic cells
- cell Y has a nucleus which also peculiar to eukaryotic cells only
Lysosome houses digestive enzymes and is found mostly in animal cells. Only a few plant cells have lysosomes.
Thus, the lack of a lysosome means that cell Y is a plant cell while the presence means that cell X is an animal cell.
Generally, plant cells have larger vacuoles than animal cells.
