<h3>Answer:</h3>

2000 atoms

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given the following;

Initial number of atoms of radium-226 as 8000 atoms

Time taken for the decay 3200 years

We are required to determine the number of atoms that will remain after 3200 years.

We need to know the half life of Radium

  • Half life is the time taken by a radio active material to decay by half of its initial amount.
  • Half life of Radium-226 is 1600 years
  • Therefore, using the formula;

Remaining amount = Original amount × 0.5^n

where n is the number of half lives

n = 3200 years ÷ 1600 years

 = 2

Therefore;

Remaining amount = 8000 atoms × 0.5^2

                                = 8000 × 0.25

                                 = 2000 atoms

Thus, the number of radium-226 that will remain after 3200 years is 2000 atoms.

Explanation:

Foods produced from or using GM organisms are often referred to as GM foods.

GM foods are developed and marketed because there is some advantage either to the producer or consumer of these GM foods. GM seed developers wanted their products to be accepted by producers and have concentrated on innovations that bring direct benefit to farmers and generally the food industry.

One objective for developing plants based on GM organisms is to improve crop protection. The GM crops currently on the market are mainly aimed at an increased level of crop protection through the introduction of resistance against plant diseases caused by insects or viruses or through increased tolerance towards herbicides.

Resistance against insects is achieved by incorporating into the food plant the gene for toxin production from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis. GM crops that inherently produce this toxin have been shown to require lower quantities of insecticides in specific situations, where pest pressure is high.
