1:15 is the ratio of radioactive parent isotope to stable daughter isotope,

after four half-lives of decay.

Let:

  • 'A' be the initial concentration of the radioactive parent isotope
  • 'n' be the number of corresponding half-lives
  • 'A/2ⁿ ' be the final concentration of the radioactive parent isotope

Using the Exponential Decay Relation:

                  A → A/2ⁿ ( after 'n' half-lives )

                  A⁴ → A/2⁴

                  A⁴ → A/16

∵The final concentration of the radioactive parent isotope is A/16.

∴The initial concentration of the stable daughter isotope will be 15A/16.

1:15 is the ratio of radioactive parent isotope to stable daughter isotope,

after four half-lives of decay.

What kind of tissue provides plants with the first line of defense against damage and disease?
sergeinik [125]


The best answer - dermal tissue.

Dermal tissue in plants forms the first line of defense against physical damage and infection from the outside world.

Dermal tissue covers the outside of the plant, except in woody shrubs and trees, which have bark. The most common cell type in dermal tissue is epidermal cell. Generally, a thin waxy layer called a cuticle covers the epidermal cells and protects them.

Other cells in the dermal tissue are guard cells that surround the stomata, which are openings in the leaves. Gases enter and leave the dermal tissue through the stomata.

Give reasons :
lesantik [10]

Answer:

a) It is dangerous to wear nylon clothes while cooking because it is a synthetic cloth and they catch fire easily also they can stick on our body which is very painful.

b) Cotton is a natural product. And unlike synthetic fibres, it is more absorbent. The towel hence has high absorbency.

c) Nylon and polyester are two fabrics most commonly used in raincoats and umbrellas. They are not absorbent the way natural fibers are. They naturally resist waterlogging, and can be made waterproof.
