10 A. How many years would pass if only 25% of the Potassium-40 radioactive elements are left?
kari74 [83]

Answer:

The correct answer is -

A. 2.6 × 10^9 years.

B. two half-lives.

Explanation:

According to the question, the half-life of potassium-40 is, 1.3 × 10^9 years, which means it takes 1.3 billion years to decay or disintegrate half of the initial amount of the potassium.

The half-life of K-40 = 1.3 × 10^9

The number of half-life,  => (1/2)^2 = 1/4 (25% =1/4)

n = 2

number of half life = two

the time it takes = n*half lifetime

= 2 *1.3 × 10^9

=2.6 × 10^9 years.

siniylev [52]

1. With respect to oxygen requirements, an <u>aerobe </u>can use gaseous oxygen and possesses enzymes to process toxic oxygen products.

<h3>What are enzymes?</h3>

Proteins called enzymes aid in accelerating our bodies' chemical reactions, or metabolism. Some compounds are created, while others are broken down. Enzymes are a component of all life. Enzymes are created by our bodies spontaneously.

2.  Expanding on this classification, an <u>obligate </u>aerobe cannot grow without oxygen.

3. Still other organisms, called<u> facultative anaerobes</u>, metabolize by aerobic respiration but can adapt to anaerobic environments.

A facultative anaerobic organism is one that can switch from aerobic respiration to fermentation in the presence of oxygen to produce ATP.

List the 3 types of cell junctions and state which is the most and least permeable.
Zanzabum
1) occluding junctions
2) anchoring junctions
3) communicating junctions
Occluding junctions do not totally seal the space between cells and the resulting permeability varies greatly.  I would say anchoring junctions are most likely with one of the other 2 junctions being least permeable.
