Reason 1: Allows us to handle larger numbers with ease
Reason 2: Allows us to easily tell the number of significant figures with ease.
Half life is the time taken by a radioactive isotope to decay by half its original mass.
The original mass is 200 g
Time taken is 60 hours
Final mass is 25 g
Therefore;
Final mass = Original mass × (1/2)^n; where n is the number of half lives.
25 = 200 (1/2)^n
1/8 = (1/2)^n
n = 3
Three half lives = 60 hours
1 half lives = 20 hours
Therefore; the half life of the radioactive nucleus is 20 hours
Explanation:
From the word equation, it shows that when copper oxide reacts with sulphuric acid, a double replacement reaction will occur, where copper and sulphate forms a bond with each other, and so do water.
Answer:
Option 2= Glucose
Explanation:
Cell membrane is made up of two phospholipid layers and each contain phosphate head and fatty acid or lipid tails. the head is present between the outer and inner boundaries and tail is present in between. The small non- polar molecules can pass the membrane through simple diffusion. This lipid tail restrict the passage of polar molecules including water soluble substances like glucose. However, transmembranes are present that allow the molecules to inter that are blocked by the tails.
Facilitated diffusion:
it is a type of diffusion in which caries protein without using the cellular energy shuttle the molecules to the cell membrane. Glucose is bind on the carrier protein ,change the shape and transport it from one to another side of membrane. In order to absorb the glucose red blood cells use this kind of diffusion.
Primary active transport:
The cells that are present along small intestine use this type of transport to pump the glucose inside the cell. The primary active transport require energy to transport the glucose inside.
Secondary active transport:
It is another method of transport of glucose into the cell. This method can not use ATP but it is based on concentration gradient of the sodium that provide electro chemical energy for the glucose transport.
