Given the age of the meteorite is 4.5 billion years old with 78 atoms of lead-206 the answer should be B. 156. The half-life of uranium-238 in order to decay into lead-206 is 4.46 billion years, which means that the original number of atoms is 156.
<h2>The work of Charles Darwin and Alfred Wallace </h2>
Explanation:
C) uniform modification of genetic traits over long periods of time.
The theory of uniformitarianism states that the natural phenomena and laws that are bringing about changes in the today's world are functioning in the same rate since the geological times. This idea of uniformitarianism was linked to biological sciences because according to Darwin and Wallace's observation, the uniform modification of genes among the population brought about the species diversity on the Earth.
Answer:
See the answer below
Explanation:
1. The data from the experiment shows that <u>as the percentage of salt in the solution used to water the plants increased, the growth rate of the plants decreased</u>. As the percentage increased from A to D, the change between the average initial and the final heights decreased, meaning that an increase in the percentage of the salt in the solution used to water the plants had a negative impact on the growth rates of the plants.
2. Due to the solutions used to water the plants in groups E and F being more concentrated (hypertonic) to that of the cell sap of the plant, <u>water molecules diffused out of the cell sap to the ambient solution</u>. As time goes by, the plants lose too much water, become wilted, and died off eventually. Instead of water molecules to keep diffusing into the plants in order for them to grow, the reverse was occurring and this led to their death.
Answer:
Mesophyll cells.
Explanation:
Transpiration is the evaporation of water at the surfaces of the spongy mesophyll cells in leaves, followed by loss of water vapour through the stomata . Transpiration produces a tension or 'pull' on the water in the xylem vessels by the leaves. Water molecules are cohesive so water is pulled up through the plant.
