1) How old is a bone in which the Carbon-14 in it has undergone 8 half-lives?

Using the graph form the picture you count 8 times the halving of C¹⁴ and you arrive at 45600 years.

2) In the process of radiocarbon dating, the fixed period of radioactive decay used to determine age is called the half-life.

3) A certain byproduct in nuclear reactors, 210Po, decays to become 206Pb. After a time period of about 276 days, only about 25% of an original sample of 210Po remains. The remainder has decayed to 206Pb. Determine the approximate half-life of 210Po.

What the problem is telling you is that at 276 days only 25% original sample remains. If you divide the number of days by two the quantity of original sample will be multiplied by two, and you will have 138 days and 50% of original sample. This is the answer because the the half-life of a isotope is the time in which 50% of original quantity of radioactive atoms will disintegrate.

Which layer of Earth is responsible for the movement of tectonic plates?
vesna_86 [32]
Convection currents in the mantle are what causes the movement of tectonic plates. As the extremely hot molten material from the mantle rises toward the crust, it cools enough to become denser and sink back into the hotter area of the mantle.

Select all statements that correctly describe hemoglobin and myoglobin structure. a. Molecular oxygen binds irreversibly to the
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

c. By itself, heme is not a good oxygen carrier. It must be part of a larger protein to prevent oxidation of the iron.

e. Both hemoglobin and myoglobin contain a prosthetic group called heme, which contains a central iron ( Fe ) (Fe) atom.

f. Hemoglobin is a heterotetramer, whereas myoglobin is a monomer. The heme prosthetic group is entirely buried within myoglobin.

Explanation:

The differences between hemoglobin and myoglobin are most important at the level of quaternary structure. Hemoglobin is a tetramer composed of two each of two types of closely related subunits, alpha and beta. Myoglobin is a monomer (so it doesn't have a quaternary structure at all). Myoglobin binds oxygen more tightly than does hemoglobin. This difference in binding energy reflects the movement of oxygen from the bloodstream to the cells, from hemoglobin to myoglobin.

Myoglobin binds oxygen

The binding of O 2 to myoglobin is a simple equilibrium reaction:
