In Haiti, UN workers accidentally introduced cholera.

The UN did not dispose of human waste correctly. This caused cholera to spread to local people.

The situation in Haiti could be improved by screening UN workers for illness, increasing water sanitation, and providing adequate sewage treatment.

Haiti suffered a devastating earthquake in January 2010. Subsequently, much infrastructure in Haiti was destroyed, and many residents did not have access to safe drinking water and sanitation. Haiti suffered a devastating cholera outbreak soon after. Cholera is caused by a bacteria: Vibrio cholerae. The disease causes diarrhoea type symptoms. It is thought that the bacteria was introduced to Haiti by Nepalese peacekeepers from the UN. Since there was no safe sanitation, cholera sufferers would have contaminated the water supplies, leading to the spread of the bacteria in drinking water supplies.

An element has a half-life of 30 years. If you start with 10g of this element, how many grams of this element would remain after

drek231 [11]

After two half-lives or 60 years, 7.5 g of the element will be left.

Explanation:

Half-life:

In simple words, Half-life can be defined as the amount of time needed for a quantity to fall to half its value as contained at the beginning of the time period.
In this problem the half-life of the element is thirty years, then after thirty years half of the sample would have decayed and half would be left as it is.
After thirty years (The first half-life ) 30 /2 = 15 g declines and 15 g remains disappeared.
And after another sixty years (The two half-lives) 15 /2 = 7.5 g declines and 7.5 g remains disappeared.
After two half-lives or 60 years, 7.5 g of the element will be left.

Answer:

All of these choices are correct.

Explanation:

A cell can be defined as the fundamental or basic functional, structural and smallest unit of life for all living organisms. Some living organisms are unicellular while others are multicellular in nature.

A unicellular organism refers to a living organism that possess a single-cell while a multicellular organism has many (multiple) cells.

Generally, cells have the ability to independently replicate themselves. In a cell, the "workers" that perform various functions or tasks for the survival of the living organism are referred to as organelles. Some examples of cell organelles in all living organisms such as trees, birds, and bacteria include; nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, golgi apparatus, mitochondria, lysosomes, ribosomes, chromosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, vesicles, cytoskeleton, etc.

Cytoskeleton refers to a structure consisting of filaments and tubules which help to maintain internal organization and support the shape of the cells. It comprises of three (3) main filaments and these includes: actin filaments, intermediate filaments and microtubules.

Generally, there are numerous evidence that cytoskeletal elements have ancient origins and they include all of the aforementioned facts.
