A certain element has a half-life of 1,000 years. How much of a sample of this element remains after 2,000 years?

Biology
1 answer:
quester [9]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

A quarter of the sample.

Explanation:

Let the quantity at the beginning be T. If the element has a half-life of 1,000 years, it means that after 1000 years, T/2 (which represents half the initial quantity available) would have decayed, remaining T/2.

After another 1000 years (making 2000 years), T/4 (which represents have of the quantity left after the first 1000 years) would have decayed, remaining T/4.

This means that only a quarter of T would be left after 2000 years.

If your observation had not been restricted to the tip of the onion root how would the results be different?
Aneli [31]
If your observations had not been restricted to the area of the root tip that is actively dividing, how would your results have been different?Cells are in interphase 90% of the time, and, since most of the creation of plant cells occurs in the root tips, you would witness mostly interphase. 2.Based on the data in Table 3.1, what can you infer about the relative length of time an onion root tip cell spends in each stage of cell division?Most of a cells life cycle is spent in interphase. Metaphase is the longest stage of mitosis, and anaphase is the shortest.1.List three major differences between the events of mitosis and meiosis.Meiosis has four nuclear divisions, whereas, mitosis only has one; meiosis creates four haploid cells, whereas mitosis creates two diploid cells; and meiosis is the only one taking part in crossing over.2.Compare mitosis and meiosis with respect to each of the following in Table 3.2:Table 3.2Mitosis MeiosisChromosome Number of Parent Cells2n2nNumber of DNA Replications11Number of Divisions12Number of Daughter Cells Produced24Chromosome Number of Daughter CellsDiploid (2n)Haploid (n)Purpose/FunctionRepair and GrowthGamete and Spore

Identify the location of the central canal in the spinal cord slide.
Katarina [22]

Correct answer is label B. on the purple shaded area which is inside the ventral horn and dorsal.

Spinal cord is termed as tubular or long thin structure which is made of nervous tissue. It is being extended to the lumbar region which is found in the brainstem from the medulla oblongata.

This is enclosed in the central canal which contains cerebrospinal fluid of the spinal cord. If we combine spinal cord and the brain we come up with Central Nervous System.

Between the second and first lumbar vertebrae is where spinal cord extends and it is where it ends.

<em>The major function of spinal cord is nerve signal transmission from motor cortex to body. </em>
