Answer:

The correct answer is -

A. 2.6 × 10^9 years.

B. two half-lives.

Explanation:

According to the question, the half-life of potassium-40 is, 1.3 × 10^9 years, which means it takes 1.3 billion years to decay or disintegrate half of the initial amount of the potassium.

The half-life of K-40 = 1.3 × 10^9

The number of half-life,  => (1/2)^2 = 1/4 (25% =1/4)

n = 2

number of half life = two

the time it takes = n*half lifetime

= 2 *1.3 × 10^9

=2.6 × 10^9 years.

What is the answer??
jeyben [28]

Answer:

The answer is D.

Explanation:

In geometry, parallel lines are lines in a plane which do not meet; that is, two lines in a plane that do not intersect or touch each other at any point are said to be parallel. By extension, a line and a plane, or two planes, in three-dimensional Euclidean space that do not share a point are said to be parallel.

Sympathetic neurons stimulate vasoconstriction in the gi tract, while sympathetic neurons stimulate vasodilation in arterioles s
Anvisha [2.4K]

It is because of the different neurotransmitters and their receptors.

Sympathetic stimulation of arterioles in skeletal muscle is mediated by epinephrine acting on its β-adrenergic receptors.  

Sympathetic stimulation   of vasoconstriction occurs as a result of activation of α-1 adrenergic receptors by norepinephrine released by post-ganglionic sympathetic neurons.

When you examine fluid that you have drawn from a blood vessel in someone's arm, you find that it is relatively high in carbon d
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

The given blank can be filled with a venule.

Explanation:

A small blood vessel in the microcirculation, which connects the capillary beds to the veins is known as the venules. Various venules combine to form a vein. The walls of a venule are formed of three layers, that is, the inner endothelium formed of squamous endothelial cells, a middle layer of elastic and muscle tissue, and an external layer formed of fibrous connective tissue.  

The size of a venule ranges from 8 to 100 micrometers in diameter and are produced when capillaries come in close association. A venule refers to a small blood vessel that permits the deoxygenated blood high in carbon dioxide and waste products to return from capillary beds to the bigger blood vessels known as veins.
