question 5 (multiple choice wor points)
(02.02r mc)
what characteristic of carbon - 14 makes it useful for determining the age of organic materials?

Explanation:

Passive transport, such as osmosis, requires a living cell membrane with proper structure and function to regulate the movement of water.
