A scientist is using relative dating to determine the age of a fossil that she discovered. What would allow her to draw the best

conclusions about fossils that are younger than the one she discovered? measuring the amount of carbon and nitrogen in the surrounding rock measuring the amount of potassium and argon in the surrounding rock finding fossils in the same area that are in layers deeper under the surface finding fossils in the same area that are in layers closer to the surface

answer:

: D.finding fossils in the same area that are in layers closer to the surface.

Relative dating refers to the age estimation method in which past events are determined, to compare the age of object, organism, strata or rock with the age of other similar entity. This method gives an approximate or estimated age, it does not provide absolute age.  

The older fossils are found in deeper layers of the strata as compared to younger fossils. This represents the geological time and life span of primitive or preexisting organisms. Therefore, according to the given situation, finding fossils in the same area that are in layers closer to the surface is the best conclusion

We have already talked about another class of chemicals that helps send signals in the body—neurotransmitters. How are neurotr
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

Similarities: both are chemical messengers, both can have (but don't necessarily have) similar structures (made from amino acids), both can be produced by the central nervous system (hypothalamus produces some hormones), certain molecules can act as both hormones and neurotransmitters (example: norepinephrine).

Differences: neurotransmitters are released by neurons across a synaptic gap, have very short distances to travel, and act very quickly on the neighboring cell. Hormones are released by glands and often have to travel longer distances, which means that they are slower-acting. Also, hormones are typically used for regulation (negative feedback) while neurotransmitters are used for stimulation of a neighboring cell.
