Describe the process of absolute dating as it relates to igneous rock and the fossil record.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Radiometric dating. Geologists use radiometric dating to estimate how long ago rocks formed, and to infer the ages of fossils contained within those rocks. ... When molten rock cools, forming what are called igneous rocks, radioactive atoms are trapped inside. Afterwards, they decay at a predictable rate.

What causes antibiotic resistance?
- Only using antibiotics when you are also doing radiation therapy
- Only using antibiotics when you are also doing chemotherapy
- Any use of antibiotics causes resistance
- We do not know

Answers

Answer:

Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria change in response to the use of these medicines. Bacteria, not humans or animals, become antibiotic-resistant. These bacteria may infect humans and animals, and the infections they cause are harder to treat than those caused by non-resistant bacteria.

your welcome ;)

Explanation:

Explain how bacteria can be both harmful and helpful.

Answers

The species of bacteria that colonize our respiratory and digestive systems help set up checks and balances in the immune system. White blood cells police the body, looking for infections, but they also limit the amount of bacteria that grow there. Likewise, bacteria keep white blood cells from using too much force. Bacteria also help out by doing things cells are ill-equipped to do. For instance, bacteria break down carbohydrates (sugars) and toxins, and they help us absorb the fatty acids which cells need to grow. Bacteria help protect the cells in your intestines from invading pathogens and also promote repair of damaged tissue. Most importantly, by having good bacteria in your body, bad bacteria don’t get a chance to grow and cause disease.

Some species of bacteria in your body can result in diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and obesity. Usually, these diseases happen only when the normal microbiome is disrupted, but that can occur even from antibiotics. Antibiotics kill bacteria, and some of those will be good bacteria that we need to protect our health. When that happens, the bad bacteria that normally are kept in check have room to grow, creating an environment ripe for disease.

Bad bacteria can exist at low levels in your body without causing harm or can grow too much and wreak havoc. Staphylococcus aureus can cause something as simple as a pimple or as serious as pneumonia or toxic shock syndrome. P. gingivalis can cause gum disease, and was recently linked to pancreatic cancer (read our article find out more). Similarly, when not suppressed by good bacteria, Klebsiella pneumonia can cause colitis, and subsequently lead to colorectal cancer.

In addition to allowing disease-causing bacteria to flourish, the elimination of good bacteria throws  the immune system out of whack. The result can be simple allergies or very debilitating autoimmune diseases. Without the right balance of bacteria, your body might suffer from constant inflammation.

Inflammation is the body’s alarm system, which calls white blood cells to heal a wound or to get rid of infection. Chronic inflammation, however, can make the body more susceptible to autoimmune diseases and cancer, such as causing inflammatory bowel disease which if uncontrolled can cause colon cancer.

Blood vessels are connected to nerve fibers which are regulated by the
nervous system. When innervated they respond by doing what?

Answers

Answer:

When blood vessels are innervated they respond by contracting and relaxing their muscle wall, as a result of the activity of the autonomic nervous system.

Explanation:

The nerves that are responsible for the innervation of the blood vessels are called nervi vasorum, and are composed of nerve fibers of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.

The innervation of the blood vessels specifically acts on the muscular wall of the vessel, so it contracts or relaxes depending on the activity of the nervous system:

Sympathetic nervous system stimulates vascular contraction.Parasympathetic nervous system makes the vascular smooth muscle relax.

The action of the autonomic nervous system has an effect on blood pressure, being a determinant of normal or pathological behavior of the arteries.

what is a sedimentary rock

Answers

Answer:

Sedimentary rocks are formed from pre-existing rocks or pieces of once-living organisms. They form from deposits that accumulate on the Earth's surface. Sedimentary rocks often have distinctive layering or bedding. Sedimentary rocks are types of rock that are formed by the accumulation or deposition of mineral or organic particles at the Earth's surface, followed by cementation. Sedimentation is the collective name for processes that cause these particles to settle in place. Sedimentary rocks are made when sand, mud and pebbles get laid down in layers. Over time, these layers are squashed under more and more layers. Eventually, the layers are lithified – turned to rock. Sedimentary rocks can be formed in deserts, lakes, rivers and seas .

Answers

Answer:

This is too difficult to read and understand... if you had a diagram I could be able to help more, but I can't figure out exactly what your asking... all I know is part A is CO2 being released into the atmosphere...

Hope you have a great day and if you have a diagram let me know.. I'd love to help :D

Answer:

Part I

At location G, the process of combustion is taking place where hydrocarbon or organic carbon from the fossil fuel is burnt in the presence of oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water as the products.

CxHy = CO₂ + H₂O

Part II

At point G there is no transformation of energy since during the process of combustion energy will still be stored in form of chemical energy in the bonds of carbon Iv oxide and the water produced during the reaction.

Part III

The process shows recycling of carbon in the carbon cycle. This is because carbon from living organisms is cycled to non living organisms. When plants and animals die and are buried deep in the ground, they are then slowly converted to fossil fuels which contain organic hydrocarbon compounds including petrol, kerosene and other compounds. Then the fossils are used in the industries and undergoes combustion releasing carbon iv oxide which is then released to the atmosphere and used by the plants and animals. The process starts once again.

Support your answer with evidence from this passage.The Necklace by Guy de Maupassant She had no dresses, no jewels, nothing; and these were the only things she loved. She felt she was made for them alone. She wanted so much to charm, to be envied, to be desired and sought after. She had a rich friend, a former schoolmate at the convent, whom she no longer wanted to visit because she suffered so much when she came home. For whole days afterwards she would weep with sorrow, regret, despair and misery.One evening her husband came home with an air of triumph, holding a large envelope in his hand. "Look," he said, "here's something for you." She tore open the paper and drew out a card, on which was printed the words: "The Minister of Education and Mme. Georges Rampouneau request the pleasure of M. and Mme. Loisel's company at the Ministry, on the evening of Monday January 18th." Instead of being delighted, as her husband had hoped, she threw the invitation on the table resentfully, and muttered: "What do you want me to do with that?" "But, my dear, I thought you would be pleased. You never go out, and it will be such a lovely occasion! I had awful trouble getting it. Everyone wants to go; it is very exclusive, and they're not giving many invitations to clerks. The whole ministry will be there." She stared at him angrily, and said, impatiently: "And what do you expect me to wear if I go?" He hadn't thought of that. He stammered: "Why, the dress you go to the theatre in. It seems very nice to me ..." He stopped, stunned, distressed to see his wife crying. Two large tears ran slowly from the corners of her eyes towards the corners of her mouth. He stuttered: "What's the matter? What's the matter?" With great effort she overcame her grief and replied in a calm voice, as she wiped her wet cheeks: "Nothing. Only I have no dress and so I can't go to this party. Give your invitation to a friend whose wife has better clothes than I do." He was distraught, but tried again: "Let's see, Mathilde.
