Answer:

Five hundred out of every one thousand rats would die

Explanation:

Median lethal dose LD-50 (lethal dose 50%) is used as a measure of poisoning potential of a substance. LD-50 is the dose of substance, given all at once, which causes the death of 50% (one half) of a group of test animals.  LD-50 is usually expressed as the amount of chemical administered (e.g., milligrams) per 100 grams or per kilogram of the body weight of the test animal. In this example, the test animals were rats, they were administrated a certain insecticide. Administration methods that are the most common are dermal (applied to the skin) and oral (given by mouth). If the determined LD-50 is 250 milligrams per kilogram of body mass, it means that one half (five hundred) of one thousand rats would die, because we are talking about lethal doses.

How do autotrophs obtain energy? How do heterotrophs obtain energy?
antiseptic1488 [7]
Autotrophs, by definition, are organisms that are able to internally manufacture their own food. Autotrophs, also known as producers, are organisms that obtain their energy by converting light energy into chemical energy, via photosynthesis. Photosynthesizing plants are an example of autotrophs. 

Heterotrophs, by definition, are organisms that are unable to internally manufacture their own food. Heterotrophs, also known as consumers, are organisms that obtain their energy by consuming other organisms. Humans are an example of heterotrophs.
