You find a fossil that you think is about 350 million years old. You decide to use 235U to date a volcanic ash bed just below th

e key specimen. The half-life of 235U is 700 million years. If you are correct, what approximate percentage of the original 235U would you expect to remain in your sample?

Answer:

I would expect that the sample has only 50% of the original 235 U.

Explanation:

That is because 235 U has a half-life of 700 million years and I expect that my sample be 350 million years old. 350 is half of 700.

ollegr [7]

Answer:

This question is incomplete; the complete part is:

Which of the following best explains the reactions of these enzymes?

A) Amylase aids in the removal of a water molecule to break covalent bonds whereas glycogen synthase aids in the addition of a water molecule to form covalent bonds.

B) Amylase aids in the addition of a water molecule to break covalent bonds whereas glycogen synthase aids in the removal of a water molecule to form covalent bonds.

C) Amylase aids in the addition of a water molecule to form covalent bonds whereas glycogen synthase aids in the removal of a water molecule to break covalent bonds.

D) Amylase aids in the removal of a water molecule to form covalent bonds whereas glycogen synthase aids in the addition of a water molecule to break covalent bonds.

The answer is A

Explanation:

In nature, MONOMERS are simpler units that come together to form larger units called POLYMERS. According to this question, Amylase converts carbohydrate polymers to monomers while Glycogen synthase converts carbohydrate monomers to polymers.

Monomers of carbohydrate are joined together by adding water molecule to form covalent bonds between the monomer units, hence, forming a POLYMER. This is how Glycogen synthase catalyzes its reaction of forming carbohydrate polymer (glycogen).

On the other hand, Amylase breaks down large polymer molecules into monomers by removing water molecules in a process called HYDROLYSIS. This breaks the covalent bond that holds the monomeric units together.
