After the 1st half-life 250 g of the radioactive material will be left. 
<span>After the 2nd half-life 125 g of the radioactive material will be left. </span>
<span>After the 3rd half-life 62.5 g of the radioactive material will be left. </span>

<span>Therefore after 60 minutes, 3 half lives would have occurred. </span>

<span>Therefore the half-life = 60 / 3 = 20 minutes when 250 grams of the original material would have remained radioactive. </span>

<span>Therefore the answer is A) About 250 gram of the material decayed in 20 minutes.</span>

tigry1 [53]

Protozoans are not the organism that fix nitrogen for the plants. The organism that fix nitrogen to convert it into a form which can be used by plants are known as diazotrophs.

These are bacteria and archae that fix nitrogen gas found in the atmosphere into more usable form such as ammonia.

These organism can grow without any external source of fixed nitrogen. Example: Rhizobia and azospirillium.
