What percent of potassium-40 remains undecayed in a rock that is 3.9 billion years old? The 3.9 billion year old rock has undergone three half-lives (3.9 divided by 1.3 = 3). After 3 half-lives, 12.5% of the potassium-40 remains undecayed.

Which postmortem parameter reaches a maximum at 12 hours and is gone within 36 to 48 hours?
elixir [45]

Answer : Option 1) Rigor mortis.

Explanation : The parameter of rigor mortis reaches a maximum at 12 hours and is found to be gone within 36 to 48 hours.

Rigor mortis where rigor means stiffness and mortis means of death or in simple words it is postmortem rigidity, the third stage of death, is one of the major recognizable signs of death, which is mainly caused by chemical changes in the muscles post mortem, and it causes the limbs of the corpse to stiffen.

In humans, rigor mortis can occur as soon as 4 hours post mortem.

This type of membrane transport moves substances against the concentration gradient from an area of low concentration to an area
sashaice [31]

<u>Answer</u>:- Active transport

<u>Explanation</u>:-

There are two types of membrane transports

1. Passive transport - this type of transport occurs without the input of any energy and the molecules move along the concentration gradients that is from <em>high concetration to low concentration.</em>

2. Active transport- this type of transport takes place to move the molecules against the concentration gradient that is from <em>low concentration to high concentration.</em>

<em>The active transport is of two types:</em>

1. <em>Primary active transport-</em> in this type of transport <em>ATP</em> is used as an energy source to move the substances against the concentration gradient.

2.<em>Secondary active transport</em> - in this type of transport the gradient formed by the active transport is utilized and it involves the movement of 2 substances at a time aross the membrane. That is the movement of one molecule is coupled to another.


  • The membrane proteins that are associated with active transport are called as <em>carrier proteins</em>. These proteins have a binding site for the molecules that they transport. Once they bind to the specific molecules, a conformation change is induced and this leads to the transport of the molecule across the membrane.

So, the <em>active transport is basically responsible for utilizing the energy from ATP and carrier proteins to move the substances across the membrane against their concentration gradient i.e. from low concentration to high concentration.</em>

When muscle tissue dies, it usually is replaced with dense collagenous connective tissue. How do these tissues differ in structu
Korolek [52]

Answer:

Damaged muscle tissue is replaced by fibrous scar tissue. This is called as 'Fibrosis'. Thicker than the surrounding tissue, scar tissue is paler and denser because it has a limited blood supply; although it takes the place of damaged or destroyed tissue, it is limited in function, including movement, circulation, and sensation.

Dense irregular connective tissue contains fibroblasts scattered amongst randomly oriented collagen fibers, whereas muscular tissues contain multinucleated muscle cells that are able to contract upon stimulation. Because the connective tissue cells cannot contract, the muscle will lose strength, and so muscle function will become impaired.
