Agre verified his hypothesis in anexperiment where he associated cells which includes the protein with cells that did not have it. When the cells were placed inside a water solution, those that had the protein inside their membranes absorbed water by osmosis and increased up. Those that lacked the protein were unaffected. He also conducted trials with artificial cells called liposomes, which are a type of soap bubble surrounded  by water on its extremities and also inside. He figured out that the liposomes became permeable to water if the protein was planted inside their membranes.

A geologist is studying two different rhyolite flows to determine if they were erupted at the same time.

Q1. The answer is 1.

It can be calculated using the equation:

 (1/2)ⁿ = x

x - decimal amount remaining, 

n - a number of half-lives.


x = 50% = 50/100 = 0.5

n = ?

(1/2)ⁿ = 0.5

log((1/2)ⁿ) = log(0.5)

n * log(1/2) = log(0.5)

n * log(0.5) = log(0.5)

n = log(0.5)/log(0.5)

n = 1


Q10. The answer is 2.


It can be calculated using the equation:

 (1/2)ⁿ = x

x - decimal amount remaining, 

n - a number of half-lives.


Rhyolite #2 has 25% of the parent H remaining:

x = 25% = 25/100 = 0.25

n = ?

(1/2)ⁿ = 0.25

log((1/2)ⁿ) = log(0.25)

n * log(1/2) = log(0.25)

n * log(0.5) = log(0.25)

n = log(0.25)/log(0.5)

n = -0.602 / - 0.301

n = 2



Q3. The answer is 100 million years.


A number of half-lives (n) is a quotient of total time elapsed (t) and length of half-life (H):

n = t/H

n = 1

t = ?

H = 100 000 000 years


n = t/H

t = n * H

t = 1 * 100 000 000 years

t = 100 000 000 years<span>

Ivenika [448]
I would tell the room mate  that what i just heard was the resemblance between the Fayum catarrhines and the Miocene proconsulids in skull form and dentition which suggests an evolutionary relationship, even if the direct fossils evidence is not present. Primates are divided into two groups; the prosimians and anthropoids. Monkeys evolved from Prosimians during the Oligocene Epoch while Apes evolved from the Catarrhines in Africa during the Miocene Epoch. Apes are then divided into the lesser apes and the greater apes.
