Answer:

3.9 billion years

Explanation:

The half-life of potassium-40 is the time it takes for half of it to decay.  

After one half-life, half of the original amount will remain.  

After a second half-life, half of that amount will remain, and so on.  

We can construct a table as follows:  

\begin{array}{cccc}\textbf{No. of} &\textbf{Fraction} &\textbf{Mass}\\ \textbf{Half-lives} & \textbf{Remaining} & \textbf{Remaining/g}\\0 & 1 &80\\\\1 & \dfrac{1}{2} &40\\\\2 & \dfrac{1}{4} & 20\\\\3 & \dfrac{1}{8} & 10\\\\4 & \dfrac{1}{16} & 5\\\\\end{array}

We see that the mass will drop to 10 g after three half-lives.

  1 half-life = 1.3 billion years

3 half-lives = 3.9 billion years

A student designs an experiment to test substances X, Y, and Z, to determine which one is a catalyst for the reaction: A + B ® C
guapka [62]
The effect of a catalyst is to increase the speed of the reaction, this is the speed at which reactants, A and B, are consumed, ant the product, C, is produced.


Given that when C is produced the solution bubbles, the bubbles are an indication of progression of the reaction.


The greater the speed of reaction, the earlier the reaction will end and the earlier the bubbles will stop.   


So the student can identify the catalyst because the bubbles will stop first.


Answer: <span>The test tube that stops bubbling first contains the catalyst.</span>

This type of endocytosis is the cellular process of engulfing liquid particles by the cell membrane.
Natalija [7]

The correct answer is Phagocytosis type of endocytosis is the cellular process of engulfing liquid particles by the cell membrane.

Phagocytosis is a type of endocytosis in which large particles such as microorganisms and dead cells are ingested through large endocytic vesicles known as phagosomes. Phagocytosis is the process of detecting and absorbing particles larger than 0.5 m in size. The particle is internalized into the phagosome, a distinct organelle. This phagosome then undergoes phagosome maturation, which involves changing the structure of its membrane and the composition of its contents. The first step is to activate the phagocyte.

Step 2: Phagocyte Chemotaxis (for wandering macrophages, neutrophils, and eosinophils)...

Step 3: Phagocyte attachment to the Microbe or Cell.

Step 4: The Phagocyte consumes the microbe or cell.

Answer:

Carbohydrates: Carbohydrates are the most abundant organic molecules in nature. stored in the body in the liver and muscles in the form of glycogen.

Proteins and Amino Acids: Proteins are the most abundant organic molecules of the living system. There are twenty amino acids (AA) which have been found to occur in all proteins and for which genetic codon exits.

Lipids are broadly classified (modified from Bloor) into simple, complex, derived and miscellaneous lipids, which are further subdivided. found in cell membranes, cholesterol, blood cells, and in the brain
