Answer:

The weight of Strontium-90 will reduce to 0.25 Kg in 58 years.

Explanation:

Given -

Radioactive isotope sample of Strontium-90 = 1Kg

Half life of Strontium-90 = 29 years

After first half life (i.e 29 years), the weight of Strontium-90

= \frac{1}{2}\\= 0.5 Kg

After second half life (i.e 58 years), the weight of Strontium-90

= \frac{0.5}{2}\\= 0.25 Kg

Thus, the weight of Strontium-90 will reduce to 0.25 Kg in 58 years.

The flow of energy in an ecosystem is best
melamori03 [73]
The flow of energy in an ecosystem is best described as energy moving in one direction from the sun to the producers then to the consumers. 

Explanation; 
Energy flow is the amount of energy that moves through successive trophic levels of a food chain in an ecosystem. Ecosystem maintain themselves by cycling energy and nutrients.
The energy from sunlight is taken up by producers which use it to produce organic compounds through photosynthesis. The energy is then passed successively to the trophic levels, that is from the producers to the consumers ( primary, secondary, tertiary and quotienary consumers). During this transfer some energy is lost at each trophic level in form of heat.

Which is part of the endosymbiont theory? Autotrophic prokaryotes evolved into mitochondria. Eukaryotes engulfed photosynthesizi
MrRa [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is eukaryotes engulfed photosynthesizing prokaryotes

Explanation:

The endosymbiotic theory or symbiogenesis is an evolutionary theory that traces the origin of eukaryotic cells from prokaryotic organisms. It explains that some of the organelles (Mitochondria and Chloroplasts) in eukaryotic cells evolved from free-living prokaryotic microbes which were ingested or engulfed. The ingested prokaryotic cells survived within the organism and developed a symbiotic relationship.

According to the theory, chloroplasts was formed when eukaryotes engulfed photosynthesizing prokaryotes and mitochondria was formed when bacteria capable of aerobic respiration were engulfed.
