Natalija [7]3 years ago

Answer:

Viruses have been concluded non-living

Explanation:

It is true viruses have living qualities such as reproduction and environment adaptability. However, they lack being composed of cells and the inability to undergo homeostasis. Because a virus contains both, but also doesn't meet the requirements to be one or the other is why it's said to be in the "grey area".

Data collected by the drilling ship Glomar Challenger confirmed that _____.
Volgvan
Data collected by the drilling ship Glomar Challenger confirmed that C. NONE OF THE OCEAN FLOOR IS MORE THAN 180 MILLION YEARS OLD.

Glomar Challenger began drilling on both sides of the mid-ocean ridges to gather data. The data confirmed what the sea-floor spreading hypothesis predicted. The ocean floor is youngest along the central valley of the mid-ocean ridge while the ocean floor in subduction zones or near the edges of the continents is oldest. The data has confirmed that none of the ocean floor is more than 180 million years old because the older oceanic rock will undergo subduction and go back to the earht's mantle.

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer;

-PET scan

A PET scan uses radioactive markers in the blood to monitor blood flow and metabolic activity via x-ray

Explanation;

-A positron emission tomography (PET) scan is an imaging test that helps reveal how the tissues and organs are functioning. A PET scan uses a radioactive drug (tracer) to show this activity. This scan can sometimes detect disease before it shows up on other imaging tests.

-A PET scan is used to diagnose certain health conditions, to plan treatment, to find out how an existing condition is developing, and to see how effective a treatment is.

-In a PET scan, a machine detects radiation that is emitted by a radiotracer. A radiotracer consists of radioactive material that is tagged to a natural chemical, such as glucose.
