Joyce is planting tulips in her garden, and she has 5 red bulbs and 5 white bulbs to plant in one row. What is the probability t

hat she randomly plants the bulbs so that all 5 red bulbs are next to each other and all 5 white bulbs are next to each other? Express your answer as a fraction or a decimal number rounded to four decimal places.

Answer:

\frac{1}{126} or 0.0079.

Explanation:

Joyce is planting tulips in her garden.

Number of red (R) bulbs = 5

Number of white (W) bulbs = 5

Total number of ways to plant 10 bulbs in one row is

\text{Total ways}=\frac{10!}{5!5!}

\text{Total ways}=\frac{10\times 9\times 8\times 7\times 6\times 5!}{5\times 4\times 3\times 2\times 1\times 5!}

Cancel out common factors.

\text{Total ways}=252

It is given that she randomly plants the bulbs so that all 5 red bulbs are next to each other and all 5 white bulbs are next to each other.

Required outcomes are

RRRRRWWWWW and WWWWWRRRRR

\text{Required outcomes}=2

Formula for probability:

Probability=\frac{\text{Required outcomes}}{\text{Total ways}}

Probability=\frac{2}{252}

Probability=\frac{1}{126}

Probability\approx 0.0079

Therefore the required probability is \frac{1}{126} or 0.0079.

Answer:

1. Radiometric dating

2. Relative dating is used to determine the age of fossils or rock layers by by comparing it to similar rocks and fossils of known ages.

3. The youngest rock layers are at the top and the oldest are at the bottom, which is according to the law of superposition.

4. Tribolite and Pecten fossils

Fossils are used to determine the ages of rock layers. Index fossils are the most useful in determining relative aging. Index fossils are of organisms that lived for a short period of time. An index fossil allows a scientist to determine the age of the rock it is in. So if they are found in a particular age, it means they belong in that age.

5. Scientists commonly use radioactive dating methods by using radioactive decay cloak of certain elements such as potassium or carbon to date fossils or rocks.

6. Law of superposition because in terms of finding the age of the rock as an object, all that needs to be identified are the layers of the rock.

7. The nuclear decay of radioactive elements are a process that behaves in a clock-like fashion which makes it a useful tool for determining the exact age of fossils or rocks.

How does the equation for cellular respiration compared with the equation for photosynthesis?
nignag [31]
In plants, photosynthesis, occurring in chloroplasts, is an anabolic (bond-building) process whereby CO2 and H2O combine with the use of light (photon) energy. This yields O2 and sugar (i.e. glucose). This occurs in 2 phases: light-dependent and dark (Calvin cycle) reactions, which both continually recycle ADP/ATP and NADP/NADPH.
The catabolic (bond-breaking) process in plants is cellular respiration, in which glucose is broken down with O2 by glycolysis (cytoplasm only) and mitochondrial reactions (Krebs cycle and E.T.C.) to yield CO2 and H2O. These reactions recycle ADP/ATP and NAD/NADH. The CO2 and water produced by cellular respiration feed into the photosynthetic processes, and in turn, the O2 and glucose resulting from photosynthesis supply the respiratory reactions.

The __________ division carries signals to the smooth muscle in the large intestine.
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

Visceral motor

Explanation:

Peripheral nervous system is divided further into visceral and somatic nervous system. Somatic nervous system controls the skeletal muscles, joints and tendons. Visceral nervous system controls cardiac muscles, glands and smooth muscles.

Large intestine has smooth muscles so it is controlled by the visceral nervous system. It has further two divisions, sensory and motor. Sensory division carries signals from the muscle to the central nervous system whereas motor division carries signals from the central nervous system to the muscle which cause an action. Hence, visceral motor division carries signals to the smooth muscle in the large intestine.
