Radioactive decay is measured in half-lives.

Answer: radioactive decay

Explanation: Radioactivity is the phenomenon in which an unstable nuclei is converted to a stable nuclei by emitting radiations.

Radioactive decay always follows first order kinetics given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant

t = time taken for decay process

a = initial amount of the reactant

a - x = amount left after decay process

Half life is the time required to decompose a radioactive material to half of its original value.

t_\frac{1}{2}=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-\frac{a}{2}}

t_\frac{1}{2}=\frac{2.303}{k}\times log2}

t_\frac{1}{2}=\frac{0.693}{k}

AlexFokin [52]

Answer: the rate of pollination of flower, in a field next to a pond with no fish, will DECREASE.

Explanation:

POLLINATION is defined as the process by which flowering plants, through the aid of external agents such as insects,wind, water and other animals, are able to transfer pollen grains from an anther to a receptive stigma. Insects are the most common pollinators. They visit flowers to obtain nectar and pollen as source of food. Flowers use various features, such as colour and scent, to attract and guide insects to the food source within them. In the process of reaching their source of food, insects bring about pollination.

From the study conducted by scientist in Florida, eight(8) ponds where subjected to the the study. The first four (4) ponds had species of fishes that fed on dragonflies and dragonfly larvae, hence the reason for a decrease in the population of the dragon flies in the area around it. While the remaining four (4) ponds had NO fish and the area around it is populated with dragonflies and dragonfly larvae. This is so because of the absence of fish.

It was then noted that the dragon lies fed of the insect pollinators such as the bees and butterflies. Since these dragonflies and its larvae are abundant in the field which is close to the pond with no fish, they will grossly depend on the insect pollinators as their source of food thereby decreasing the rate of pollination in the field next to the pond with no fish.

Sensory input from the skin of the foot reaches the cerebral cortex via a third order neuron that originates in the:____________
larisa [96]

Answer:

Central posterolateral thalamus.

Explanation:

The third order neuron originates from Central posterolateral nuclei thalamus because it is the nucleus of thalamus because it receive impulses from the neospinothalamic tract and the medial lemniscus of the posterior column-medial lemniscus pathway i.e it received sensory information from the body, send it to the brain and then transfer the information to brodman.

icang [17]
You did not included your list of selections.  Some general properties ascribed to DNA are storage and expression of information and variables through mutations.  Replication, Transcription, Translation and Mutagenesis are the major functions of DNA in a cell.  DNA nucleotides contain deoxyribose.  DNA is double-stranded in the conservative mode, the original double Helix remains a complete unit and the new DNA double Helix is produced as a single unit.  In the double=stranded DNA, Hydrogen bonds hold one complimentary strand to the other.  

Hope this helps, I love Science.
