The answer is; B
Rocks have naturally occurring and spontaneously radioactive atoms in them, such as carbon-14. These element isotopes decay into other types of atoms over millions of years. Therefore, by measuring the amount of these radiometric substances, and knowing the half-life of the isotopes, it is possible to postulate the age of a rock to within certain ranges of error.
Answer:
C. Balancing a chemical equation simply means ensuring that the same numbers of atoms of the elements which are involved in the reaction (reactants) are represented in the result of the reaction (products). This demonstrates that matter is not created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction.
Explanation:
The products of a reaction contains a certain number of each atom constituting each product;
Matter cannot be created or destroyed so the reactants must contain the same number of each atom;
Balancing the equations means this will be the case and hence, this will demonstrate the number of each reactant atom/molecule necessary for the reaction to proceed
The OLFACTORY AND THE GUSTATORY SYSTEMS have receptors which die out after sometimes because of direct exposure to the environment.
The olfactory system has to do with the perception of smell while the gustatory system has to do with taste stimuli. For these two basic sense organs, their perception rate is always highest when they are newly exposed to a stimuli, after continuous exposure to the stimuli their receptors die out.
Answer:
option c punctuated equilibrium
Explanation:
Punctuated equilibrium occurs in a process whereby evolutionary changes occurs in some organisms in a rapid burst of time rather the conceived gradual changes that occurs over a long period of time. this burst of time might be in about 500,000 years. It is assumed that the organism has maintained/lives in stasis for a long period without a need for change, but then, once the change takes place (most of the time, due to an environmental factor), the organism quickly adapts to its new environment with this new adaptation.
Answer:
Explanation:
Waxy cuticle is a white powdery substance that is insoluble, it is found usually on the surface of stem or leave and it prevent excessive loss of water through transpiration.
It is an adaptive mechanism used in dry areas or desert to help plants retain water that is needed for their growth by reducing amount of water loss through transpiration.
Cactus is an example of plant with cuticle that thrive well in dry areas
