Studying the decay of radioactive isotopes in dead organisms helps scientists to identify fossilized remains. The ratio of C-12 to C-14 in the atmosphere is 1 x 1012. The table shows this ratio inside the body of three organisms. C12/C14 Ratio
Organism C12/C14 Ratio
A 1 x 1012
B 2 x 1012
C 4 x 1012

What can most likely be concluded from the above information?
Only Organism A is dead, and Organism C is older than Organism B.
Only Organism A is dead, and Organism B is older than Organism C.
Both Orgamism B and Organism C are dead, but Organism C has been dead longer than Organism B.
Both Orgamism B and Organism C are dead, but Organism B has been dead longer than Organism C.

You exhale co2 which is produced during cellular respiration. co2 combines with the water in your blood's plasma to make up one half of the body's most important buffer pair, carbonic acid. the more physical activity you engage in, the more co2 your body is producing. you can see this by putting some of the cabbage indicator in a glass and then blowing bubbles into it through a straw. can you see a change in the color of the indicator?
