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.

Answer:

Symbiotic relationship

Explanation:

An average human body between 20 to 30 year of age with a weight of 74 kg and 170 cm contains about 30 trillion cells. The number of bacterial cells in the same man counts for about 39 trillion that is higher than the cell of the body.

The ratio between the bacterial cell to the human cell is about 1.3:1 which is almost equal or higher than the human cells.

Although the number of bacteria is almost equal or higher than the human cell, the main reason behind this relation is that these bacteria live in the symbiotic or mutually beneficial relationship with humans.

Thus, a Symbiotic relationship is the correct answer.
