Answer:

The correct answer is option b, that is, the radioactive isotope reacts in the same way as stable isotopes in the chemical reactions in the body.

Explanation:

The carbon-14 atoms, which are created by the cosmic rays associates with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide that plants captivate naturally and comprise it into plant fibers by the process of photosynthesis. Afterward, the plants are consumed by animals and human beings, thus, they take in carbon-14 as well.  

The ratio of usual carbon-12 to carbon-14 in the air and in all the living species at a particular period is almost the same. These radioactive isotopes react in a similar manner as stable isotopes in the chemical reactions in the body.

Which of the following is an example of a model? PV=nRT, Geographical map, I believe that aliens exist, all of the above.
aleksandrvk [35]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is geographical map.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Model is defined as the three dimensional representation of a proposed structure in a smaller scale.

For the given options:

<u>Option 1:</u>  PV = nRT

This is a proposed law. This law is known as ideal gas law. A law is defined as the rule which defined a correct procedure. For any gas behaving ideally, this law is used.

<u>Option 2:</u> Geographical map

Map is defined as the diagrammatic representation of an area of land or sea which also shows physical features, roads, cities etc..

A 3-D model can be prepared for geographical map.

<u>Option 3:</u> I believe that aliens exist

This is a hypothetical statement. It is a smart guess by the means of set of assumptions and observations. For its validation, we need to conduct some experiments.

Hence, the correct answer is geographical map.
