Page 1 Page 2 Radioactive decay involves the changing of a radioactive atom into another radioactive atom. For example, rocks and minerals may contain potassium-40 that changes into argon-40. Mass spectrometers measure the number of these atoms in a rock or mineral sample. This information and knowing the half-life of potassium-40 can help determine the age of rock layers. The half-life of potassium-40 is 1.3 billion years. The potassium-40 in rocks and minerals will decay through many half-lives until all of them change into argon-40. How many atoms will there most likely be at the third half-life of potassium-40 in this model? A model rock layer had 50 pennies (atoms of potassium-40). How old is the rock layer?

B. Water is nonpolar and oil is nonpolar therefore the substances won't mix.
C. Water is nonpolar and oil is polar therefore the substances will not mix.
D. Water is polar and oil is nonpolar therefore the substances will not mix.
Answer:
Water is polar and oil is nonpolar so the substances won't mix.
Explanation:
Water is polar covalently bonded within the molecule. This unequal sharing of the electrons results in a slightly positive and a slightly negative side of the molecule. oils are nonpolar, so they will remain separate from molecules of a polar solvent such as water.

How Is the Earth Changing? How would you answer this question now?
Answer: Climate change
Answer:
Humans—more specifically, the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions we generate—are the leading cause of the earth's rapidly changing climate. Greenhouse gases play an important role in keeping the planet warm enough to inhabit. But the amount of these gases in our atmosphere has skyrocketed in recent decades. Global sea level rise is complex as well. To begin with, it has multiple causes, including the thermal expansion of the ocean as it warms, runoff of melt water from land-based ice sheets and mountain glaciers, and changes in water that’s stored on land. These factors combine to raise the height of our global ocean about 3.3 millimeters (0.13 inches) every year. That rate is accelerating by another 1 millimeter per year (0.04 inches per year) every decade or so.

write down at least 5 examples of dominant, recessive or co dominant alleles and what their crosses would yield
Answer:
If both alleles are dominant, it is called codominance. The resulting characteristic is due to both alleles being expressed equally. An example of this is the blood group AB which is the result of codominance of the A rose comb is produced when at least one dominant allele is present at the first locus and two recessive alleles are present at the second locus (genotype R_ pp). A pea comb is produced when two recessive alleles are present at the first locus and at least one dominant Dominant and Recessive Traits List 1． Widow’s Peak. Also known as mid-digital, hairline is a result of expression of the hairline gene.

How many stages are there in cellular respiration?
Answer: three stages
Explanation:
Answer: There are three stages
Explanation: Cellular respiration occurs in the cells of all living things, both autotrophs and heterotrophs. All of them burn glucose to form ATP. The reactions of cellular respiration can be grouped into three stages: glycolysis, the Krebs cycle (also called the citric acid cycle), and electron transport.

B. Lower air pressure
C. Low humidity
D. Higher air pressure
High air pressure usually means clear weather because stable air is sinking. The correct option would be D.
High air pressureHigh air pressure usually causes the sky to be clear.
This is because high air pressure causes the air at the lower atmospheric level to sink down towards the earth.
This is unlike low air pressure. It brings a cloudy sky along with precipitation.

Un organismo con un caracter genotípico heterocigote presentará, excepto A Alelos iguales B una linea híbrida C alelos diferentes D una linea pura E a y d
Answer:
C alelos diferentes.
Explanation:
Los alelos son las distintas formas en las que un gen puede ser expresado. Cuando un gen es dialélico implica que puede haber dos formas diferentes del mismo gen, una dominante y otra recesiva. Estos alelos serán heredados de la línea parental en la que un progenitor aporta un alelo y el otro progenitor aporta otro alelo, que se combinaran durante la formación del cigoto. La combinación de alelos de un mismo gen en un organismo determina la forma en la que determinada característica será expresada en el individuo.
• Cuando dos alelos iguales se combinan en un organismo, se habla de un genotipo homocigota. Estos alelos pueden ser los dos dominantes o los dos recesivos.
• Cuando se combina un alelo dominante con uno recesivo, se habla de genotipos heterocigotos. El individuo que posea un genotipo heterocigota, portará ambos alelos pero expresará el fenotipo del alelo dominante.
Where in the cell does the krebs cycle part of cellular respiration occur ?
Answer:
In the mitochondrial matrix
Explanation:
The mitochondria is an organelle within the cytoplasm of the cell. It consists of an outer membrane, inner membrane, and matrix containing a gel-like substance. During aerobic respiration in mitochondria, cells break down sugars in the form of glucose into [tex]CO_{2}[/tex] (carbon dioxide) and [tex]H_{2} O[/tex] (water) to obtain energy in the form of ATP or adenosine triphosphate.
aerobic respiration:
C6H12O6+ 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ≅38 ATP
(glucose) (oxygen) (carbon dioxide) + (water)
The Kreb's cycle involves several enzymatic reactions, where pyruvate derivatives obtained from glycolysis, are reduced and oxidized to harvest energy as ATP.
question one: why do stars change very little while they are in the main sequence stage?
question two: why does a main sequence star eventually grows in size to become a red giant?
Answer:
Q1 As the main sequence star glows, hydrogen in its core is converted into helium by nuclear fusion. When the hydrogen supply in the core begins to run out, and the star is no longer generating heat by nuclear fusion, the core becomes unstable and contracts.
Q2When stars first begin to fuse hydrogen to helium, they lie on the zero-age main sequence. ... The core of a red giant is contracting, but the outer layers are expanding as a result of hydrogen fusion in a shell outside the core. The star gets larger, redder, and more luminous as it expands and cools.
