Answer:

The half-life (t1/2) is the time taken for the activity of a given amount of a radioactive substance to decay to half of its initial value. The mean lifetime (τ, “tau”) is the average lifetime of a radioactive particle before decay. The decay constant (λ, “lambda”) is the inverse of the mean lifetime

What components of the eukaryotic cell were visible in the onion root tip? Which components were not? Why do you think some comp
ruslelena [56]

Looking at the onion root tip under the microscope you can see large, rectangular cells with visible distinct cell walls surrounding it (cells have a more regular shape because of the wall). Inside the cells, you can notice darkly stained nucleus, large vacuoles at the center and sometimes small granules within the cytoplasm. Looking the onion root tip under the microscope is often the way to observe mitosis. Usually, you cannot see organelles such as mitochondria, ribosomes, rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum, centrioles and Golgi body as they appear translucent and because are too small to be seen under the light microscope (electron microscope required). Also, chloroplasts are not present in an onion cell because it is not a photosynthetic cell.

What is the difference between climate change and climate variability ​
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

Climate change is the change of temperature in the worlds climate system and climate variability is the variations in a certain climate that last longer then  certain weather events.

Explanation:

To explain more climate change is the change in the daily weather in a area for example rain forest to desert or cold to hot climate change goes along with global warming which is the heating of our Earth which causes ice to melt in the arctic rising our sea levels creating stronger storms. While in a climate variability its only a certain time of that specific climate change for example its only cold for a certain period of time then the temperature rises to hot again. So, the key difference is that "climate change is the change of temperature in the worlds climate system and climate variability is the variations in a certain climate that last longer then  certain weather events."

Hope this helps!
