The correct answer is option B, that is, it presents the correct sequence of events in Earth’s history.
The geological time scale signifies towards a framework of chronological dating that relates geological strata with time. It is used by geologists, paleontologists, and other scientists of the Earth to illustrate the relations and timings of incidents that have taken place during Earth's history.
Answer:
1) Recursive definition:
2) At the beginning of the 4th interval
Explanation:
1)
The initial population of the bacteria at time zero is
Here we are told that the reading is taken every two hours; we call this time interval "n", so
And also, after every time interval n, the number of bacteria has tripled.
This means that when n = 1,
And when n=2,
Applied recursively, we get
And substituting p0,
(1)
2)
Here we want to find at the beginning of which interval there are
bacteria.
This means that we can rewrite eq.(1) as
By simplifying,
Which means that
However, this means that the number of bacteria is 1,350,000 after 3 time intervals; therefore, at the beginning of the 4th interval.
Animals get carbon by eating plants or by eating other animals.
so the correct answer would be C
The lion eats an herbivore that ate the grass
Plants use carbon dioxide for photosynthesis. By doing so, they remove inorganic carbon from the atmosphere and incorporate it into the plants’ tissues in the form of organic carbon (sugar and starch).
Carbon is returned to an inorganic state in a number of ways. As an animal breathes (respires), it exhales carbon dioxide, returning it back to the atmosphere. When an animal or plant dies, it is broken down by bacteria and fungi and again the carbon is released (this process is called decomposition).
Sometimes, instead of completely decomposing, a plant or animal may be fossilised, leading to its carbon being stored in a rock. After millions of years and under the right conditions, these fossils may turn into fossil fuels (oil, coal and natural gas).
hope this helps!!
