How can carbon-14 dating provide the age of a dead animal or plant?

The half-life of carbon is known in living organisms- the amount of carbon-14 remains constant, after death. no new carbon-14 enters the organism, scientists measure the proportion of carbon-14 in the organism and calculate how it differs from the amount that would have been there if the organism would be alive, from this differenct, they determine the age.


Is a British soldier autotrophic or heterotrophic?

Answer The words "autotrophic" and "heterotrophic" are biological terms describing how an organism metabolyses carbon. Broadly speaking, an autotrophic organism is something like a green plant which metabolyses carbon by photosynthesis and a heterotrophic organism obtains carbon usually by eating an autotrophic organism. As a human, a British soldier would be heterotrophic.

What would an organism use for energy in test tube during fermentation and what color would the indicator be.?

Sugar is the energy source, the definition of fermentation is: The anaerobic conversion of sugar to carbon dioxide and alcohol by yeast. As to the color of the indicator it would depend on what you were using to test and what you were testing for (sugar, Co2, alcohol).


What would happen in an ecosystem is there were no more organisms that produce carbon dioxide than organisms that produce oxygen?
