Once the organism dies the amount of carbon-14 decreases exponentially.
The exponential, radioactive decay of carbon 14 is used to estimate the death dates of organic material.
Living organisms have approximately the same ratio of C12 to C14 in their tissues. Once the organism dies C14 decays into nitrogen 14. Decay of C14 to nitrogen 14 changes the ratio of C12 to C14. The ratio of C12 to C14 in dead material can be compared to the ratio when the organism was alive to estimate the date of its death. Radiocarbon dating can be used on different samples such as bone, cloth, wood and plant fibers.
<span>Red blood cells normally have a biconcave shape (picture a donut, but instead of a hole through the centre there's just a downward slope to the centre of the cell). If the cell takes on water, it will increase in size and the sloped areas will start to flatten out. If the cell loses water, it will begin to shrivel. Use these observations and your understanding of osmosis to answer the question!</span>
Answer:
No, the lack of short-tailed animals in the sample does not suggest that the population is out of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in this forest. It probably means that individuals with short tails were not included in the sample by chance, as their expected frequency in the population is considerably low.
Explanation:
You will find the correct and complete explanation in the attached file due to technical problems
They would die or have to have food digested for them.
Answer:D. tapeworms live inside a goats body in a close relationship the goat.
Explanation:
In parasitic relationships,the parasite lives on the host and benefits from the host while causing harm to the host .the host does not benefit.the parasites are usually in close relationship with their host as their food source are substances of the host organisms.
The parasite may live in the host , these are called Endo-parasites.
The parasite may live outside the host, these are called ecto-parasite. In this example, the tapeworm is an endo-parasite that lives in the digestive tract of the goat. It absorbs digested food in the intestine through it's body surface.
In predator and prey relationship, the predator usually has to hunt for the prey and feed on it. It may kill it first or may not
