Some things that should be looked for are as follows: * Fibers * Cell structure - plants have a different cell structure than, say, animals. The structure of the cell is a square, while animal cells are round. * (Add more?)

∙ 14y agoThe first thing would be to look at the material under a microscope. If the cells of the material (tissue) had rigid walls and a box-like physical appearance they would be of plant origin. If the tissue had irregular shaped walls it would be of animal origin.
Another clue could be the presence of green chlorophyll molucules in the tissue, as this occurs in some (although not all) plant tissue, but not animal tissues.
Forensic specialists can sometimes track the route or general locality of a vehicle by examining the plant material, pollen grains and seeds that are found in a car or in the cars air filters as certain plants are specific to certain regions.

What part on an object will determine whether it floats?
it is not a part it is the bouancy of the material
If iodine were not available how would you determine whether starch hydrolysis had occurred?
If iodine is not available, determine whether starch hydrolysis has occurred using a refractometer or plot the yeast that forms.
How will you determine whether a box is more or less dense?
less

A biopsy would be the procedure that would identify and determine whether the causative organism is pathogenic.

How do you determine whether sodium carbonate is present?
Determination of sodium in the analyzed material or Determination of carbonate (or CO2)
Does fibroma have a cure?
Benign fibromas can be removed or left alone. One should examine the fibroma and determine whether it may be malignant. If there is any question as to whether it may be cancer-related, it should be removed. This is usually a brief outpatient procedure.

no !
How do you know if a material will carry electricity?
If you know what the material is you can determine whether the material is a normal conductor of electricity by reference. If not try completing a circuit with torch battery(ies), a bulb from the torch, some wire and see if the bulb lights up. If so the material in the circuit conducts electricity.
How do you determine whether a rock is a rhyolite or an andesite?
The composition of the rock will determine whether it is a rhyolite or an andesite.
Can you determine whether the atoms are the same element with out looking at the nuclei?
To a certain extent yes. In a balanced element the number of electrons match the number of protons in the core of the element. If electrons have been added or removed (as in an ion) then you would need to know the exact number added/removed, or rebalance the element, in order to determine the specific element.
What is the importance of tests?
Impact test determines the amount of energy absorbed by a material during fracture. This absorbed energy is a measure of a given material's toughness and acts as a tool to study temperature-dependent brittle-ductile transition. It is to determine whether the material is brittle or ductile in nature.
What can Electromyography determine?
EMG can determine whether a particular muscle is responding appropriately to stimulation, and whether a muscle remains inactive when not stimulated
What to do when engine is locked?
I'd suggest reposting your question with more detail. It's difficult to determine whether your engine has seized due to lack of oil, whether your alarm system has locked out the starter, something in between or none of the above. Maybe you can't get the hood open?
How can you get a date with Nat Wolff?
By a chance meeting, or perhaps from winning a contest. See if you can find anything about what he likes about a girl and whether or not it matches you. It's hard for celebrities to determine whether a person is dating material or just a fan... or even someone with ulterior motives.
