Hi there!

In order to do fossil comparative anatomy and branching diagrams to explain the evolution of organism, scientists use <u>radiocarbonation </u><u>method</u>.

Explanation:

Carbon-14 can combine with oxygen in the atmosphere to create carbon dioxide, which is then absorbed by plants and makes its way through the food chain. The amount of carbon-14 in living plants and animals matches the amount in the atmosphere, but when plants and animals die, they no longer absorb carbon-14.

Because radiocarbon has a known rate of decay, the scientists can now determine about how long it has been since the plant or animal was alive. <u>The lower the amount of radiocarbon, the older the object.</u>

(Sometimes, C-12 is also used)

Which temperature is required for the cell potential to be the standard cell potential?
Fiesta28 [93]
The answer is B. 25°C.

A temperature of 25°C can be considered as a room temperature. It is an optimal temperature for the most living beings which cell potential is considered as standard. It is known that at 100°C water boils, so this temperature cannot be standard, cells will degrade at this temperature. Similarly 0°C and –273°C are too cold, water of the cells will freeze, cells will freeze, and cell potential will not be optimal.
