Generally speaking, scientists have developed four different methods of determining the age of the earth. By using these methods, or a combination of them, the age of geological formations created by past events and even the fossilized bones of prehistoric animals can be determined.

Answer:

New technologies allow scientists to perform calculations that are increasingly more accurate and correct in relation to the age of the earth.

Explanation:

According to most scientists who study the Earth's geological past, our planet is approximately 4.5 billion years old. However, this is not a totally accurate measurement, as the margin of error for this dating is estimated at 10%. Several times before, the age of the Earth was recalculated as new evidence was found and techniques improved. What was seen is that, with each measurement made, the Earth was older than imagined.

The advancement of technology, allows this margin of error to become smaller and smaller, because it allows scientists to calculate the age of the earth with precision more and more and closer to the correct one.

the only reason i am wasting one of the two answers your post is allowed to get is because its been 3 hours and no one has answered yet.

Where do you go to school? I think it is very coincidental that you have the exact same question i do, and you had the question exactly when I got the question...about 3 hours ago. Now it IS a curriculum so its not that weird, but by any chance are you in K12? 8th grade?

What kind of substance facilitates the hydrogen bonding of nucleotides into a new dna molecule?
son4ous [18]
The hydrogen bonding of nucleotides into a new DNA molecule is facilitated by enzymes. Hydrogen bonding is the electromagnetic attraction between polar molecules in which hydrogen is bound to a larger atom, such as oxygen or nitrogen. The nucleotides in a base pair are complementary which means their shape allows them to bond together with hydrogen bonds. The A-T pairs forms two hydrogen bonds while the C-G pair forms three. The enzymes called DNA polymerases join the nucleotides by way of phosphodiester bonds.

A hospital can demonstrate inclusivity by community engagement through:
astraxan [27]

We knew hospitals as places where people get treatment. We hardly imagine hospitals doing outreach to the community outreach nowadays. Community outreach may improve patient outcomes, which is crucial for the hospital to have access to payer’s reimbursements. One good example is giving outreach to churches, since these institutions often have older and often sicker, individuals. The hospital may directly engage with the church and give health education and smooth transition from hospital to home. The hospital may also embrace social media, or use Twitter to data-mine flu outbreaks in the community.

If a molecule is to large or polar and cannot easily diffuse into the cell, it is
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

hydrophilic

Explanation:

Large polar or ionic molecules, which are hydrophilic, cannot easily cross the phospholipid bilayer. Charged atoms or molecules of any size cannot cross the cell membrane via simple diffusion as the charges are repelled by the hydrophobic tails in the interior of the phospholipid bilayer.
