There are two ways of finding the age of the fossil.
1. Relative dating
2. Radioactive dating.
Relative dating: In this method, we can only compare the ages of the fossil but cannot precisely find it. In relative dating, we dig the earth and look for the presence of fossils, and it is reasonable that the fossil discovered closer to the surface of the earth is most recent one and the fossil discovered in the deeper layers is the older one. So here we talk about the age of fossil in relative terms.
Radioactive dating: All organic matter on the earth is made up of various elements. Some elements exist in different isotopic forms such as C-12 and C-14. C-14 is radioactive isotope, it is unstable and decays over time at a steady rate. This steady rate is known as half life of the respective isotope. We can calculate the ratio of observed abundance of that radioactive isotope and its decay product in the fossil or rock we are studying. This is the principle of radioactive dating.

The axon carries messages in the form of action potentials from the cell body to its end feet, which synapse upon other neurons or effector organs. Cells with long axons are called principal neurons. These cells establish the pattern of connectivity within the nervous system....did this help you?
food webs are more accurate because the feeding relationships of organisms in the real world is almost always more complex than suggested by a food chain.
Energy stored in plants is transferred to humans and animals that eat them here only biosphere is involved. As, energy produced by plants which is a living component of the ecosystem through photosynthesis is transferred to other living components of the ecosystem that are humans and animals
