Proteins are large molecules composed of one or more chains of amino acids in a specific order determined by the base sequence of nucleotides.

Carbohydrates are any of various neutral compounds of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.

Fat is a fuel source for the body, fat is the major storage form of energy in the body.

Carbohydrates, proteins, and fats are called the “macronutrients.” ... Each source of protein contains different amounts of fat and or carbohydrate in addition to containing protein. Fats come from the oils in vegetables, nuts, seeds, and from the fat in animals. Fats are needed in our diet for several reasons

How does carbon-14 dating work?
Nitella [24]

Answer:

Plants and animals assimilate carbon-14 from carbon dioxide throughout their life. When they die, they stop exchanging carbon with the biosphere and their carbon-14 content begins to decrease at a rate determined by the law of radioactive decay.

Radiocarbon dating is basically a method designed to measure residual radioactivity.

Explanation:

Carbon-14 is a weakly radioactive carbon isotope; It is also known as radiocarbon, and is an isotopic stopwatch.

Radiocarbon dating is only applicable to organic materials and some inorganic materials (not applicable to metals).

Proportional gas counting, liquid scintillation counting, and accelerator mass spectrometry are the three main methods of radiocarbon dating.

The radiocarbon, or carbon-14, is an isotope of the carbon element that is unstable and weakly radioactive. The stable isotopes are carbon-12 and carbon-13.

Carbon 14 is continuously formed in the upper atmosphere by the effect of cosmic ray neutrons on nitrogen-14 atoms, rapidly oxidizing in the air to form carbon dioxide and entering the global carbon cycle.

Accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) is a modern method of radiocarbon dating that is considered the most efficient way to measure the radiocarbon content of a sample. In this method, the content of carbon-14 is measured directly in relation to carbon-12 and carbon-13 present. The method does not take into account beta particles, but the number of carbon atoms present in the sample and the proportion of the isotopes.
