The decay of uranium isotopes is used to provide information about the age of Earth.
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
Isotopes of Uranium U-232, U-233 , U-234 , U-235 , U-236 , U-238 are used as fuel in nuclear reactors or as explosives for nuclear weapons. Uranium 238 is not very radioactive and it constitutes for nearly 99.3% of natural uranium on Earth and has the longest lifetime: its period is 4.5 billion years, about the age of Earth.
Use of radiometric dating techniques help in defining the age of substances (natural or man-made) using the known decay rates of radioactive elements. Each element has an individual decay rate and half life time.
Two Uranium isotopes (U-238 and U-235) are used for radiometric dating. Both the isotopes have different decay rates and half life period. Both are unstable and radioactive. Since two different isotopes produce two different decay clocks (one as a reference to other), it is beneficial in accurately determining the age of samples. The age of earth (rocks or other natural elements) can be easily determined using Uranium isotopes.
<span>Electrons are transferred via Hydrogen atoms bound to NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide). Essentially, the krebs cycle harvests electrons (Hydrogen atoms) from pyruvates in the inter-membrane space via NADH and these feed into the electron transport chain to power ATP synthase to generate ATP.</span>
Answer:
The correct answer would be C) The Calvin cycle takes place only in the chloroplast.
The major difference between photosynthesis and respiration is that photosynthesis takes place only in plants while respiration takes place in all the living organisms including plants and humans.
Green plants and few bacteria contain special organelle called chloroplast which enables them to perform photosynthesis.
Hence, Calvin cycle (light independent phase of photosynthesis) takes place only in plants that too in chloroplasts.
In contrast, Krebs cycle usually takes place in mitochondria in both plants and animals and glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell.
The electron transport chain takes place in mitochondria in animals whereas in plants it takes place in both mitochondria and thylakoid membrane.
