Answer: Potassium-40 decays into argon gas over time.

Explanation: Potassium-argon dating is a dating method used to determine the age of sedimentary rocks by comparing the proportion of K-40 to Ar-40 in a sample of rock, and knowing the decay rate of K-40.

Potassium-40 undergoes decay following first order kinetics as given below:

$_{19}^{40}\textrm{K}\rightarrow _{18}^{40}\textrm{Ar}+_{0}^1e$

These are some ideas:

→ It's an algae, so it will occur in water.

→ Since it has similar characteristics of land plants, I'd say it is found in rivers because rivers have more contact with land plants than seas.

→ I also suggest it will be found near river-banks, but that doesn't actually have any reason behind it.

zimovet [89]

Answer:

Explanation:

Epidermis is a thin cell layer that covers and protects underlying cells. The outer periderm, or bark, is a thick layer of nonliving cork cells. Vascular tissue is composed of xylem and phloem. These tube-like structures transport water and nutrients throughout the plant.
