What is considered the fundamental unit of life?
galina1969 [7]

The correct answer is E. A cell

Explanation:

The cell is the smallest unit of life that exists and that constitutes all living organisms and body tissues including unicellular and multicellular organisms. Due to this, cells are considered as the fundamental unit of life as even the smallest and simplest living organisms are made of cells or at least made of one cell.

Cells are commonly made up of three main parts: the cell membrane which surrounds the cell and controls the substances that enter and leave it; the nucleus which is the structure within the cell that contains the nucleolus and most of the cell's DNA; and the cytoplasm that is the fluid inside the cell that contains other tiny cell particles with specific functions, such as the Golgi apparatus, mitochondria, and the endoplasmic reticulum. This applies to all cells except to prokaryotic cells because these do not contain a nucleus but a chromosome in the middle of the cell.

What is the age of a meteorite if potassium-40 decayed from 80 g to 10 g? The half-life of potassium-40 is 1.3 billion years. 1.
vekshin1

Answer:

3.9 billion years

Explanation:

The half-life of potassium-40 is the time it takes for half of it to decay.  

After one half-life, half of the original amount will remain.  

After a second half-life, half of that amount will remain, and so on.  

We can construct a table as follows:  

\begin{array}{cccc}\textbf{No. of} &\textbf{Fraction} &\textbf{Mass}\\ \textbf{Half-lives} & \textbf{Remaining} & \textbf{Remaining/g}\\0 & 1 &80\\\\1 & \dfrac{1}{2} &40\\\\2 & \dfrac{1}{4} & 20\\\\3 & \dfrac{1}{8} & 10\\\\4 & \dfrac{1}{16} & 5\\\\\end{array}

We see that the mass will drop to 10 g after three half-lives.

  1 half-life = 1.3 billion years

3 half-lives = 3.9 billion years
