Carbon-14 is used to date previously living matter—either plant or animal. It has a half-life of 5,730 years. A plant fossil was

found to contain 1.75 grams of carbon-14. How long ago did the bone contain 7 grams of carbon-14?

Answer:

THE PLANT FOSSIL IS 11, 460 years AT A MASS OF 7 GRAMS.

Explanation:

The half life t1/2 of a radioisotope is the rate of decay of the radioisotope. It is the time taken for half of the total number of atoms in a given sample of an element to decay.

From the question, the half life is 5730 years.

Lets take the original mass of the radioactive substance as 7 grams

the final mass of the substance to be 1.75 grams

The number of half life to decay from 7 g to 1.75 grams would be;

7 grams ----------> 3.5 grams ---------> 1.75 grams

2 half life can be deducted as 7 grams decay to remain 1.75 grams.

To calculate the age of the substance, we multiply the half life by the number of decay it undergoes to remain the final mass.

How old = Half life * number of decay

How old = 5730 * 2

How old = 11,460 years.

The fossil will be 11,460 years at 7 grams before decaying.

Name two hormones produced by the endocrine system and describe how they work with other organ systems to maintain homeostasis
Annette [7]
The 2 hormones are insulin & glucagon.

A hormone will only act on a part of the body it 'fits'. A hormone can be thought of as a key, and its target site ( i.e an organ) has specially shaped locks on the cell walls. 
If the hormone fits, then it will work.

The hormone can set off a cascade of other singling pathways in the cell to cause an immediate effect ( for instance, insulin signaling leads to a rapid uptake of glucose in muscle cells)

The endocrine system is a tightly regulated system that keeps the hormones and their effects at just the right level. One way this is achieved is through ' feedback loops'. The release of hormones is regulated by other hormones, proteins or neuronal signals.

The released hormone then has its effect on other organs. This effect on the organ feeds back to the original signal to control any further hormone release.

The summers in Michigan and Florida are similar because the plants in both regions end their periods of dormancy, trees start to grow buds, and plants begin to flower.

<h3>What are the effects of summer in plants in Michigan and Florida?</h3>

Summer is a period of increased sunshine and usually results in increased in plant growth and development.

Florida experienced an increased sunshine in summer periods.

Similarly, in Michigan, plants grow abundantly in summer time.

Therefore, the summers in Michigan and Florida are similar because the plants in both regions end their periods of dormancy, trees start to grow buds, and plants begin to flower.
