The population decays by a factor of (1/2 )^1/4 every hour.
<h3>
Exponential Function</h3>
An exponential function is in the form:
y = abˣ
Where a is the initial value of y, b is the multiplier, y and x are variables.
Let y represent the bacteria population after x hours.
A bacteria population decreases by a factor of 1/2 every 4 hours.
The population decays by a factor of (1/2 )^1/4 every hour.

Answer: Carbon
Explanation:Carbon is the element released by volcanic outgassing,animal respiration and flatulence,burning of fossil fuels and the metamorphism of limestone.
Volcanic outgassing is the release of carbon into the atmosphere mainly in the form of carbon monoxide.
Animal respiration and flatulence are process taking place in animals which leads to the release of carbon dioxide.
Burning of fossil fuels is the use of heat to breakdown fossil fuels such as petroleum leading to the release of Carbon.
Limestone metamorphism is the breakdown of limestone which leads to the release of Carbon to the atmosphere.
I believe the incorrect statement is A.
Clastic sedimentary rocks are made up of pieces (clasts) of pre-existing rocks. Pieces of rock are loosened by weathering, then transported to some basin or depression where sediment is trapped. If the sediment is buried deeply, it becomes compacted and cemented, forming sedimentary rock.
