The carbon 14 left from this animal is 3 grams of 24 grams which is: 3g/24g= 1/8 times of its original mass. Then, the age of the animal fossil would be:

final weight= initial weight * (1/2) ^ time/half-live
1/8 initial weight = initial weight  * (1/2) ^ time/half-live
log2 1/8= log2 (1/2) ^ time/half-live
-3= -time/half-live
time= -3 * -(half-live)
time= 3 half-live

If the half-live is 5730 years, the age would be: 3* 5730= 17.190 years.

The excretory system helps the respiratory system by
Leto [7]

Answer:

The excretory system helps the respiratory system by removing carbon dioxide that is produced during respiration (third option).

Explanation:

The lungs are in charge of the breathing process, being the main organ of the respiratory system. Each lung is considered an excretory organ —belonging to the excretory system— since it is capable of eliminating the carbon dioxide (CO₂) produced by the metabolism during expiration.

As a result of the gaseous exchange, the oxygen entering the lungs through the inhaled air passes into the blood, while the CO₂ is removed from the blood. This CO₂ is removed during expiration, which makes the lungs part of the excretory system.

The other options are not correct because:

  • <em>The excretory system does </em><u><em>not introduce more oxygen into the lungs</em></u><em>. </em>
  • <em>The </em><u><em>circulation of blood in and out of the lungs</em></u><em> is a function of the circulatory system. </em>
  • <u><em>Urine is not produced by breathing</em></u><em>.</em>

Can molecules made from the same atom form ionic bonds. Why?
Digiron [165]
No. Ionic bonds form when atoms with opposite charges bond with one another. Atoms develop charges by gaining or losing electrons. For a given element, the atoms will (usually) have a tendency to gain OR lose a particular number of electrons, so they can only form ions of a particular charge that is either positive or negative.
