Explanation:

Catalase test demonstrate the presence of an enzyme called catalase, that catalyses the release of oxygen from hydrogen peroxide. It is used to tell the difference between the non-catalase producing bacteria from those bacteria that produces an enzyme catalase. Catalase is produced by the bacteria that respire using oxygen. If an organism produces catalase, bubbles of oxygen are produced when hydrogen peroxide is added to it.

A fossil was found and determined by radiometric dating to be 11,400 years old. what is the ratio of carbon-14 to carbon-12 in t

LuckyWell [14K]

The answer would be 25%

Carbon 14 is radioactive material with 5700 year of half-time which will change it into carbon-12, a more stable substance. If the age of the fossil is 11,400 years old, then the amount of half-time passed would be: 11,400 years/ (5,700years/ half-time)= 2 half-time.

Since it undergo 2 half-time, the percentage should be: 100% * (1/2)^2= 25%

which component of blood consists of cell fragments and is the main contributor to healing cuts? A. erythrocytes B. thrombocytes

il63 [147K]

Answer:

The correct answer would be B. thrombocytes.

Thrombocytes, also called platelets are the components of the blood which play important role in the process of hemostasis.

Hemostasis is the process of preventing the flow of blood from the damaged site or damaged blood vessel. It is the first stage involved in the healing of the wound.

Platelets form the platelet-plug at the site of damage which in turn activates another blood clotting factor fibrinogen.

Fibrinogen gets converted into an active fibrin (insoluble) which forms the meshwork like structure to trap more and more platelets and red blood cells. It results in the formation of a clot which completely seals the cut or damaged site.
