The region of the human alimentary tract that has both the largest population of bacteria and the greatest species diversity is the the colon.

<h3>The normal flora of the alimentary tract</h3>

Normal flora are those microorganisms that resides in a living organism without causing it harm or diseases.

These normal flora become established in different parts of the body from birth such that the normal flora found in the mouth is not the same as the one found in the colon of the alimentary tract.

From research works, the large intestine (colon) is known to contain 100 billion per milliliter of fluid culture.

The massive numbers of bacteria in the large intestine (colon) creates a great special variation in the flora. The streptococci and lactobacilli found in the colon often adhere to cells by means of capsules surrounding the bacteria.

Therefore, the region of the human alimentary tract that has both the largest population of bacteria and the greatest species diversity is the the colon.

He chart shows rate of decay.

The value which is being measured in the columns labeled "Fraction remaining" and "Percentage remaining" is: D. amount of material that has not decayed.

<h3>What is a radioactive decay?</h3>

A radioactive decay can be defined as a radioactive process in which an unstable atomic nucleus undergoes a spontaneous transformation into one or more different atomic nuclei and simultaneously emits radiation, accompanied with a loss of energy.

<h3>The types of radioactive decay.</h3>

In Science, there are three main types of radioactive decay and these include the following:

Alpha decay
Beta decay
Gamma decay

Based on the information provided in the table (see attachment), we can reasonably infer and logically deduce that the value which is being measured in the columns labeled "Fraction remaining" and "Percentage remaining" is the amount of material that has not decayed.
