here can be a number of chemical processes by which a compounds can be broken down into simpler substances. The most common and wide-spread of such processes is Catabolism. Along with anabolism, catabolism make up the metabolism process for living organisms. In catabolism, complex chemical molecules (such as proteins, polysaccharides, etc.) are broken down into simpler molecules (such as amino acids, monosaccharides, etc.). This is often accompanied by release of energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) molecules and intermediate metabolites (which can be used by the organism in the anabolic processes). The energy thus generated is used for operation and maintenance of cells (and consequently, the body).  

Other processes that break down chemical substances into simpler substances, include depolymerization, decomposition, etc.

Hope this helps.

If you have 222 g of radioisotope with a half-life of 5 days, how much isotope would remain after 15 days?
Dima020 [189]
If the half life is 5 days, you would have to divide 222 by 2 3 times.
so 222/2 =111g
111/2 = 55.5g
55.5/2 = 27.75g

after four half life the mass would be
27.75/2
13.875g

the percent would be
13.875/222
= 6.25%
