Answer:

2.5 grams

Explanation:

In radioactive decay, one half-life is the time it takes for half of the radioactive sample to decay. So if it takes two hours (for example) for a sample to go from 8 grams to 4 grams, then one half-life has passed (since half the sample has decayed), and the half-life is two hours.

<u>Calculation:</u>

2 half-lives = sample halved twice

10 grams / 2 = 5 grams (one half-life has passed)

5 grams / 2 = 2.5 grams (two half-lives have passed)

Which type of species is the first to occupy a bare site?
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

pioneer species

Explanation:

Primary succession begins in barren areas, such as on bare rock exposed by a retreating glacier. The first inhabitants are lichens or plants—those that can survive in such an environment. Over hundreds of years these “pioneer species” convert the rock into soil that can support plants.
