Answer:

Mass extinctions, like the one that killed the non-bird dinosaurs, leave behind a host of empty niches — unoccupied ecological real estate. The upshot of all these processes is that mass extinctions tend to be followed by periods of rapid diversification and adaptive radiation.

A geologist is studying two different rhyolite flows to determine if they were erupted at the same time.

ss7ja [257]

Q1. The answer is 1.

It can be calculated using the equation:

(1/2)ⁿ = x

x - decimal amount remaining,

n - a number of half-lives.

x = 50% = 50/100 = 0.5

n = ?

(1/2)ⁿ = 0.5

log((1/2)ⁿ) = log(0.5)

n * log(1/2) = log(0.5)

n * log(0.5) = log(0.5)

n = log(0.5)/log(0.5)

n = 1

Q10. The answer is 2.

It can be calculated using the equation:

(1/2)ⁿ = x

x - decimal amount remaining,

n - a number of half-lives.

Rhyolite #2 has 25% of the parent H remaining:

x = 25% = 25/100 = 0.25

n = ?

(1/2)ⁿ = 0.25

log((1/2)ⁿ) = log(0.25)

n * log(1/2) = log(0.25)

n * log(0.5) = log(0.25)

n = log(0.25)/log(0.5)

n = -0.602 / - 0.301

n = 2

Q3. The answer is 100 million years.

A number of half-lives (n) is a quotient of total time elapsed (t) and length of half-life (H):

n = t/H

n = 1

t = ?

H = 100 000 000 years

n = t/H

t = n * H

t = 1 * 100 000 000 years

t = 100 000 000 years

Differentiate between endangered species and extinct species (1 point 2 examples)

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

<h2>Endangered: Still around but at risk of going extinct (example: tiger)</h2><h2>Extinct: Gone forever (example: wooly mammoth)</h2>

Explanation:

An endangered species is one with a reduced population. These species can easily become extinct if all the remaining members die.

Explain the precautions for immunizing children with Bruton's agammaglobulinemia.

topjm [15]

Answer:

Avoid using killed vaccine for administration.

Explanation:

Bruton's agammaglobulinemia may be defined as the X linked disorder that affects the immune system of an individual. This disease is mainly caused by the mutation in the gene responsible for coding the Bruton tyrosine kinase.

The children suffering from this disease require special immunization and some precaution must be followed before immunizing them. These patients are not allowed to immunizes with the live vaccines as these vaccines can evoke the immune response strongly and child may get infected by the disease. The individual should not given immunosuppressive drugs or corticosteroids.

Thus, the answer is avoid using killed vaccine for administration.

Can you define these words?? Thanks!

padilas [110]

Answer:

Cellulose - It is described as a complex carbohydrate that forms the main constituent of the cell wall in most plants and is important in the manufacture of numerous products like pharmaceuticals, textiles, etc.

Chlorophyll - Any of a group of green pigments that are found in the chloroplasts of plants and in other photosynthetic organisms such as cyanobacteria.

Chloroplast - An organelle found in the cells of green plants and in photosynthetic algae, where photosynthesis takes place.

Bryophyte - Any plant of the division Bryophyta, defined "sensu lato" to comprise the mosses, liverworts, and hornworts, and corresponding to all embryophytes that are not vascular plants.

Pterophyte - It is characterized as any fern(seedless plant) that is a division of Pteridophyta.

Gymnosperm - Any plant such as a conifer whose seeds are not enclosed in an ovary or those who don't bear seeds or fruits. Example; Cycads.

Cone - A cone-shaped flower head of various plants like banksias and proteas.

Angiosperm - Any flowering plant characterized by having ovules enclosed in an ovary and thus, produces fruits, as well as, seeds.

Flower - A reproductive structure in angiosperms and often conspicuously colorful and typically including sepals, petals, and either or both stamens and/or a pistil.

Cuticle - A noncellular protective covering outside the many invertebrates and plants.

Vascular tissue - The complex tissues that consist of various cell types and primarily responsible for transporting liquid and other nutrients throughout the plant or animal body.

Xylem - A vascular tissue in the land plants primarily responsible for the distribution of water and minerals that are taken up by the roots and also the key component of the wood.

Phloem - A vascular tissue in land plants primarily responsible for the distribution of sugars and the nutrients manufactured in the shoot.

Roots - The part of the plant which is generally underground that anchors and supports the plant body. It absorbs and stores water and nutrients, and in some plants is able to perform vegetative propagation.

Root hairs - The rhizoid of a vascular plant or a tabular outgrowth of a trichoblast, hair-forming cell on the epidermis of a plant root.

Stems - The above-ground stalk of a vascular plant that supports individual parts of a plant like leaves, flower, fruits, etc.

Leaves - The green and flat organ that represents the most prominent feature of the most vegetative plants.

Photosynthesis - The process by which plants and other photoautotrophs convert light energy into chemical energy. For example; Plants use air, water, along with sunlight to synthesize their food(carbohydrates and waste oxygen).
