From the calculations and the information taht we can glean from the question, the mass of the antibiotic left after 12 hours is 8.59 mg.

<h3>What is decay?</h3>

The term decay has to do with the breakdown of a chemical substance. Since the decay depends only on the initial amount of the drug the process folows the first order kinetics.

Hence;

N = amount left at time t

No= amount initual present

t = time taken

t1/2 = half life of the drug

N/No = (1/2)^t/t1/2

N/550 = (1/2)^12/2

N = 550[(1/2)^12/2]

N = 8.59 mg

2. Describe what characteristics can help you determine whether a tissue sample has healthy or cancerous cells.
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

Size and shape of the cell can help you determine healthy vs. non-healthy cells.

A normal cell also has a large cytoplasmic volume, with a controlled growth. The opposite is true for cancer cells.

Explanation:

The overall size and shape of cancer cells are often abnormal. They may be either smaller or larger than normal cells. Normal cells often have certain shapes that help them do their jobs. Cancer cells usually do not function in a useful way and their shapes are often distorted.

A ______ is the primary habitat in the natural world from which a pathogen comes.
rewona [7]

A <u>reservoir</u> is the primary habitat in the natural world from which a pathogen comes.

<h3>Pathogen:</h3>

An organism that causes the disease is called a pathogen. Your body is already teeming with bacteria. However, these organisms only become an issue if your immune system is compromised or if they are able to get into an area of your body that is typically sterile. Different from other organisms, pathogens can spread disease once they enter the body. A host is all that a pathogen requires to grow and survive.

The pathogen enters a host's body, avoids the immune system's defenses, and uses the host's resources to replicate before leaving and infecting a new host. Depending on the type, there are various methods by that pathogens can be spread. They can be transmitted by skin-to-skin contact, biological fluids, airborne particles, feces, touching a surface, and more. The reservoir is any population of organisms (or any environment) that harbors the pathogen and transmits it to the target population.
