If everyone on the planet used the same amount of

Answer:

While Americans constitute the 5% of the world population, they use around the 24% of the world's energy.

Then, if the 100% of the population were like the Americans, we have:

5%*x = 100%

x = 100%/5% = 20

the whole population is 20 times the population of the US, then the total energy used is 20 times the energy used in the US.

Then the energy that the 100% of the population would use is equal to:

20*24% = 480%

Sowe actually would need like 5 Earths.

So none of the options is matches this, but this may be because this question is about some specific resources and not for the specific energy used. The closest option is 200%

Describe remediation techniques and how they work.
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Pump-and-Treat is a primary technique for groundwater and soil remediation. In this process, groundwater is pumped to the surface, and contaminants are removed by a variety of treatment methods, including air-stripping, activated carbon, ultraviolet or ozone treatment, precipitation and biodegradation.

The bones from an animal found at an archaeological dig have a C614 activity of 0.10 Bq per gram of carbon. The half-life of C61
erastova [34]

C14 is an isotope used in radiocarbon dating techniques to date organic matter remains. The age of these bones is approximately<u> 6890 years.</u>

<h3>What is Carbon 14?</h3>

Carbon 14, also known as radiocarbon, is a radioactive carbon isotope.

Isotopes are the atoms of the same element -carbon- that vary in neutrons and, hence, in their massic number. They are alternative forms of the same element.

The radioactive C14 nucleus contains 6 protons and 8 neutrons and has a half-life of 5730 years.

The term half-life is a reference. It means that an organism that has been dead for 5730 years has half the C14 amount or concentration than the same organism had when it was alive.

Knowing the half-life of an element is useful to determine the age of the dead matter.

C14 is used in radiocarbon dating techniques or methods to estimate the age of fossils. This is a reliable technique used for dating organic samples that are less than 50,000 years old.

<u>Available data</u>:

  • The half-life of C14 is 5730 years
  • Bones activity of 0.10 Bq per gram of carbon

To answer this question we can make use of the following equation

Ln (C14T₁/C14 T₀) = - λ T₁

Where,

  • C14 T₀ ⇒ Amount of carbon in a living body. We know, by bibliography, that living organism activity is 0.23 Bq per gram of carbon. So, C14 T₀ = 0.23 Bq/g
  • C14T₁ ⇒ Amount of carbon in the dead body. C14T₁ = 0.1 Bq/g
  • λ ⇒ radioactive decay constant = (Ln2)/T₀,₅
  • T₀,₅ ⇒ The half-life of carbon 14 = 5730 years
  • T₀ = Time when the organism was alive
  • T₁ = Age of bones

Let us first calculate the radioactive decay constant.

λ = (Ln2)/T₀,₅

λ = 0.693/5730

<u>λ = 0.0001209</u>

Now, let us calculate the first term in the equation

Ln (C14T₁/C14 T₀) = Ln (0.1/0.23) = Ln 0.4347 =<u> - 0.833</u>

Finally, let us replace the terms, clear the equation, and calculate the value of T₁.

Ln (C14T₁/C14 T₀) = - λ T₁

- 0.833 = - 0.0001209 x T₁

T₁ = - 0.833 / - 0.0001209

T₁ =  6889.99 ≅ <u>6890 years</u>

The bones are approximately<u> 6890 years.</u>

In the above diagram of a plant cell, what is the function of structure 3?
kramer

Explanation:

B.  serves as the control center of the cell and contains the cell's genetic information

All the genetic information within the eukaryotic cell is stored within the nucleus as helical DNA. This DNA is tightly wounucleuscarbohynd around histones as chromosomes. Chromosomes within the nucleus is unwound, unzipped and read by enzymes in a complex series of steps known as transcription. The message on DNA, called genes is copied by RNA polymerase, to form mRNA complementary sequence to that of the DNA strand. These are then translated into proteins in ribosomes.

Further Explanation:

A cell's structural components (i.e. their makeup) determine their function (what they do) . For instance, photosynthesizing cells in algae and plants have structures called chloroplasts. These contain chlorophyll, a specialized compound which facilitates the conversion of light energy to energy stored in carbohydrates. In specific cell types, collected proteins may function as a unit called an organelle. Some organelles are bound by membranes like those that make up the external structure of the cell, with varying compositions of phospholipids and proteins. These are advantageous, as they:

  • may increase metabolic reaction efficiency; they allow cells to concentrates smaller fractions of enzymes and solutes
  • separate proteins and molecules that me harm the cell by parceling them into membrane-bound organelles for example, proteaseas bound within lysosomes can break down many structural proteins

Why is osmosis important to the survival of a cell
stiv31 [10]

The most important function of osmosis is stabilising the internal environment of an organism by keeping the water and intercellular fluids levels balanced. In all living organisms, nutrients and minerals make their way to the cells because of osmosis. This obviously is essential to the survival of a cell.
