Carbon-14 used to determine the age of organic material. The procedure is absed on the formation of C^(14) byneutron capture iin the upper atmosphere. ._(7)N^(14)+._(0)n^(1) rarr ._(6)C^(14)+._(1)H^(1) C^(14) is absorbed by living organisms during photosynthesis. The C^(14) content is constant in living organism. Once the plant or animal dies, the uptake of carbon dioxide by it ceases and the level of C^(14) in the dead being falls due to the decay, which C^(14) undergoes. ._(6)C^(14)rarr ._(7)N^(14)+beta^(c-) The half- life period of C^(14) is 5770 year. The decay constant (lambda) can be calculated by using the following formuls : lambda=(0.693)/(t_(1//2)) The comparison of the beta^(c-) activity of the dead matter with that of the carbon still in circulation enables measurement of the period of the isolation of the material from the living cycle. The method, however, ceases to be accurate over periods longer than 30000 years. The proportion of C^(14) to C^(12) in living matter is 1:10^(12).

If the age of the fossil is determined to be T_(1) and T_(2) at the places , respectively, then |
|
Answer» The age of the fossil will increase at the place where explosion has taken place and`T_(1)-T_(2)=(1)/(lambda)ln ``(C_(1))/(C_(2))` So decay constant`lambda=(1)/(T_(1)-T_(2))ln``(C_(1))/(C_(2))` `C_(1)` is the concentration at `T_(1)` time. `C_(2)` is the concentration at `T_(2)` time. So, `T_(1)-T_(2)=(1)/(lambda)ln ``(C_(1))/(C_(2))` |

The .^(14)C content is constant in living organism once the plant or animal dies, the uptake of carbon dioxide by it ceases and the level of .^(14)C in the dead being, falls due to the decay which .^(14)C undergoes. ._(6)^(14)C rarr ._(7)^(14)N + beta^(-) The half-life period of .^(14)C is 5770 years. The decay constant (lamda) can be calculated by using the following formula lamda = (0.693)/(t_(1//2)). The comparison of the beta^(-) activity of the dead matter with that of the carbon still in circulation enable measurement of the period of the isolation of the material from the living cycle. The method however, ceases to be accurate over periods longer than 30,000 years.

C^(14) concentrations is C_(1) in nearby areas and C_(2) in areas far away. If the age of the fossil is determined to be T_(1) and T_(2) at the places respectively then |
|
Answer» The age of the fossil will increase at the place where EXPLOSION has taken and `T_(1) - T_(2) = (1)/(LAMDA "LN" (C_(1))/(C_(2))` So decay constant `lamda = (1)/(T_(1) - T_(2)) "ln" (C_(1))/(C_(2))` `C_(1)` is the concentration at `T_(1)` times `C_(2)` is the concentration at `T_(2)` time So `T_(1) - T_(2) = (1)/(lamda) ln (C_(1))/(C_(2))` |

Carbohydrates , proteins and facts are the thre main components of our food. For a normal person, a balanced diet which contains all these three components in right proportions is recommended for good health. Arjun , a class XII students , however, pointed out that this is not right always. Under special situations, it is not the balanced diet but it is the protein rich diet which is often recommended. Read the above passage and answer the following questions: (i) Why a protein rich diet is recommended for HIV/AIDS patients ? (ii) Why children and expectant mothers need a protein rich diet ? (iii) Person who wish to reduce body weight and heart patients are also recommended protein rich diet. Why ? |
|
Answer» Solution :(i) The immune system of HIV/AIDS PATIENTS is largely/ completely distroyed. Since REBUILDING immune system besides medication also requires antibodies which are proteins. Therefore, to rebuilt/strengthen immune systems, protein rich diet is recommended. (ii) Children for their growth and expectant mothers for the growth of their expected infants require building of muscles which requires protein rich foods. (iii) Protein increases satiety, i.e., you feel fail full for longer periods, thereby reducing the total number of calories eaten per DAY. Further , it increases protein metabolism thereby maintaining lean muscles which is required for weight loss. A protein rich diet helps to REDUCES the blood pressure as well as the CHOLESTEROL level in the blood. Both these factors are beneficial for heart patients. |
