Bone age : 22,920 years

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Nt = 2.5 g C-14

No = 40 g

half-life = 5730 years

Required

time of decay

Solution

General formulas used in decay:  

\large{\boxed{\bold{N_t=N_0(\dfrac{1}{2})^{t/t\frac{1}{2} }}}

t = duration of decay  

t 1/2 = half-life  

N₀ = the number of initial radioactive atoms  

Nt = the number of radioactive atoms left after decaying during T time  

Input the value :

\tt 2.5=40.\dfrac{1}{2}^{t/5730}\\\\\dfrac{2.5}{40}=\dfrac{1}{2}^{t/5730}\\\\(\dfrac{1}{2})^4=\dfrac{1}{2}^{t/5730}\\\\4=t/5730\rightarrow t=22920~years

Food molecules contain biochemical energy which is made available by
Juliette [100K]

Food molecules contain biochemical energy which is made available by a process called respiration.

 Respiration is the process within cells by which living things break down food chemicals in their bodies and use them as a source of energy.

The proteins, lipids and polysaccharides that make up most of the food we eat must be broken down into smaller molecules before our cells can use them either as a source of energy or as building blocks for other molecules. This process is named catabolism and occurs in 3 stages.

Stage 1 is the enzymatic breakdown of food molecules in the digestion process  into their monomer subunits- amino acids, glucose and glycerol.

Stage 2 is the process of glycolysis where each molecule of glucose is converted to pyruvate.

Stage 3 is production of ATP,  the form of energy needed by the body to function. This stage takes place in the mitochondria of the cells. ATP is produced from conversion of pyruvate to acetylCoA in a process called the Citric Acid Cycle.

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

For a particular chemical reaction, the enthalpy of the reactants is -400 kJ. The enthalpy of the products is -390 kJ. The entropy of the reactants is 0.2 kJ/K. The entropy of the products is 0.3 kJ/K. The temperature of the reaction is 25oC. What can you conclude about this reaction?

It is exergonic

It is endergonic

it is a redox reaction

It is being catalyzed by an enzyme

Why can you never see the far side of the mood from earth?
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer: -

C) because the moon rotates once on its axis in the same time that it takes to revolve around the earth

Explanation: -

The moon rotates about it's axis one full time at about the same time as it takes to rotate around the earth.

This leads to only one side of the moon always appearing to Earth, called the near side.

One side of the moon is always not seen from the earth. It is called the far side of the moon.

Thus we can never see the far side of the moon because the moon rotates once on its axis in the same time that it takes to revolve around the earth
