Why is cell size limited

Lynna [10]

Cells are limited in size because the outside also known as the plasma membrane must transport food and oxygen to the inside of the cell. This can be represented by what is known as the surface to volume ratio.

When a living organism dies, it stops taking in new carbon. Thus, as the radioactive carbon-14 decays, the ratio of carbon-12 to

Alexxandr [17]

Answer: The fossil is 11459 years old.

Explanation:

Half-life of carbon-14 = 5700 years

First we have to calculate the rate constant, we use the formula :

$k=\frac{0.693}{5700\text{years}}$

$k=1.21\times 10^{-4}\text{years}^{-1}$

Now we have to calculate the age of the sample:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

$t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}$

where,

k = rate constant = $1.21\times 10^{-4}\text{years}^{-1}
t = age of sample = ?
a = let initial amount of the reactant = 100 g
x = amount decayed = 75 g
a - x = amount left after decay process = 100 - 75 = 25 g Now put all the given values in above equation, we get
[tex]t==\frac{2.303}{1.21\times 10^{-4}}\log\frac{100}{25}$

$t=11459years$

The fossil is 11459 years old.

Which process is most likely to result in a gene providing antibiotic resistance to be found in a viral genome

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

<em><u>There are two important types of genetic mechanisms that can give rise to antibiotic resistance: mutation and acquisition of new genetic material. In the case of mutation, the rate at which resistance develops can be attributed to the rate at which bacteria mutate.</u></em>
