Question about absolute dating / Radioactive decay Q:
Scientists found a fossilized bone from an organism in a deep layer of rock. When they took the bone back to the lab they realized that the bone had only 12.5% of the total Carbon 14 left. Based on the amount of Carbon 14 left in the bone how old is the bone?

Atp is is our little "pocket" of energy. of course, if you have too little, then it means you have too little energy, and you'll pass out. the way to not have enough, is to have no energy sources (glucose, fats, proteins). you can't have too many atp molecules. cycles like the krebs cycle produce it, but if you have too much of any substrate (or too little for that matter), the cycle stops and atp is no longer made (it stops until substrate levels are such that the process can go on). in any case, this is unlikely since atp is constantly hydrolyzed and remade, even while you're asleep. you won't have too much. if you have zero, you are dead or dying.

Everything that you need in a lab is in your lab
