What is the half life of a radioactive isotope if a 500 gram sample decays to 62.5 grams in 99 years?

Biology
1 answer:
Serga [27]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

24.75 years

Explanation:

62.5 is 1/4 of 500, which means that in 99 years it passed through four half-lifes. So, you divide 99 by four and you get that the half-life is 24.75 years. 25 years if it was rounded

The criteria that Thomas hunt Morgan was looking for include; the model organism should be small in size, easy to keep in the laboratory and also able to produce large number of off springs in a short time.

How has stratospheric ozone loss disrupted food webs in the antarctic?
prohojiy [21]
Heat from the sun makes it through near the Antarctic (where the hole is) is melting the ice and not allowing some key species to feed. seals don't have ice to come up for air through like normal so polar bears starve. loss of land means less food for a lot of species because the hunting grounds is closing and there is no room to expand.

A type of cellular transport is shown. Which description best identifies this type of cellular transport? Your answer: A.Osmosis
madreJ [45]

Answer:

B.Active transport, because energy is being used to move molecules against the concentration gradient

Explanation:

Substances move in and out of living cells through various transport means. Some substances move passively (without energy) while others move actively (with energy). Active transport of substances involves the movement of molecules against the concentration gradient.

Active transport moves against concentration gradient in the sense that the movement occurs from a region which is less concentrated to one which is more concentrated, hence, energy input in form of ATP is required for such transport to occur. This is the case of the cellular transport in the diagram. Therefore, it is an ACTIVE TRANSPORT because energy input (ATP) is required.

Note, Osmosis and facilitated diffusion are types of passive transport that requires no energy to occur.
