ht to be 65 million years old has recently been discovered by paleontologist mary schweitzer (fields 2006). you have been asked to analyze a sample of the tissue for carbon-14 dating. the activity of the sample was found to be 8 x 10-5 disintegrations per second. an equal mass of fresh sample of human tissue was found to be 15.200 disintegrations per second. the half-life of carbon-14 is 5700 yr. calculate the age of the dinosaur tissue from the data you acquired.

A covalent bond is likely to be polar if _____________
Sidana [21]

Answer:

The correct answer d. one of the atoms sharing electrons is much more electronegative.

Explanation:

If one of the atoms is more electronegative than the others, like the oxygen in the water molecule, it will allow this atom to attract the other's electrons turning itself into a negative pole and turning the others into a positive pole. In the water, oxygen is more electronegative and that's why it becomes the negative part and the hydrogens become the positive.

Enzymatic breakdown of which of the following compounds doesn’t begin until it reaches the stomach?
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

B. Proteins

Explanation:

Salivary amylase is an enzyme that starts the breakdown of starch in the mouth. Gastric glands of the stomach secrete gastric juice, which contains HCl to kill bacteria and denatures proteins, intrinsic factors, and the enzyme pepsin. The chief cells of gastric glands secrete pepsinogen (an inactive form of pepsin).

Pepsin begins the digestion of proteins in the stomach. It breaks down certain peptide bonds between amino acids and thereby, breaks down protein chain into smaller peptide fragments. Pepsin requires a very acidic environment of the stomach (pH 2) and becomes inactive at a higher pH.
