Knowing the age of the fossils is the most important factor for the scientists that study evolution.  

The age of the fossils is found out with the help of objective and radioactive dating. The fossils themselves generally cannot be dated directly, as the majority of them have no or less of the organic substance left in it, and dating with carbon 14 is only beneficial up to the age of 35000 to 50000 years.  

However, with the application of radiometric dating, the scientists are able to put an objective date. By determining the concentration of radioactive decay in specific elements since the solidification of the igneous rocks, one can find out the exact date of the fossil.  

The most generally used elements for radiometric dating of rocks are uranium, argon., potassium, and rubidium as they exhibit fairly long half lifes.

A very important fact to be considered about fossils by scientists is the Age of the Fossil. This is found by Carbon Dating. The reason why the age is of high importance is because it determines during what time the fossil lived and how it is evolution.

iVinArrow [24]

Answer: 6CO2 + 6H2O -> C6H1206 + 6O2

Explanation: This is a balanced chemical equation for photosynthesis. In photosynthesis, six molecules of carbon dioxide react with six molecules of water in the presence of sunlight to form one molecule of glucose and six molecules of oxygen. Photosynthesis is a process by which green plants manufacture their own food using sunlight. Plants cells have an organelle known as chloroplast which contains chlorophyll a green pigment that traps energy from the sun. The energy trapped by the chlorophyll is used by plants in the presence of carbon dioxide and water to drive the synthesis of glucose with the release of oxygen as the by-products.

Inessa05 [86]
The correct answer is antigens and epitope.
An antigen is a substance which triggers an immune response in an organism. This can be either a foreign substance, such as a pathogen, or a specific part of the host organism (in this case this is an autoimmune response). The presence of an antigen activates a specific part of the immune system, called antibody. Each antigen has a specific antibody, which is tailored by the immune system accordingly. More specifically, the antibody has a specific structure, called paratope, which is complementary and binds like a key to a specific structure of the antigen, called epitope.
