The actual age of rocks can be determined by radioactive dating. a. True b. False

Biology
1 answer:
oee [108]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

The absolute age of rocks can be determined in two ways: by fossil content or by radioactive dating, which uses the natural radioactivity of rocks. If the rock contains fossils, its age will be the age of those fossils. This is very simple, but it is a method with huge limitations. Not every rock contains fossils; the igneous, for example, never have them. And even when the rock contains remains or traces of animals or plants, they can be difficult to obtain.

When molten rock cools to form what we call igneous rocks, radioactive atoms are trapped inside. Later they decay at a predictable rate. By measuring the number of unstable atoms remaining in a rock and comparing it to the number of stable atoms in that rock, scientists can estimate how long it has been since the rock was formed by radioactive dating.

Substance A and substance B are mixed together. To separate the mixture, water is added, and substance A is filtered out. Then,
Sveta_85 [38]

The correct answer would be that substance A is rice, and substance B is sugar.

For substance A to be filtered out, it means that A is a water-insoluble substance and for substance B to be recoverable by evaporating off the water, it means that B is water-soluble.

Thus, A can neither be sugar nor alcohol because neither can be recovered by filtration. Also, B can neither be coffee nor alcohol because they can not be recovered as residue through evaporation of water.

Therefore, the only correct answer is that substance A is rice, and substance B is sugar because rice can be filtered out from water while the water-soluble sugar can be recovered by evaporating the water.

How do eukaryotic cells carry out the processes they need to live?​
Sidana [21]

Answer:

Unlike prokaryotes, eukaryotic cells compartmentalize various metabolic processes inside membrane-bound organelles. For example, the breakdown of certain food molecules to provide energy takes place in the mitochondrion, and photosynthesis takes place in a chloroplast.
