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.

Alchen [17]

Answer:

As insect nymphs grow larger, their exoskeleton becomes too tight and they must replace it. Once a nymph outgrows its exoskeleton it will go through a process called molting, in which it leaves the old “skin” or exoskeleton behind. The new “skin” will harden and become the new exoskeleton

Explanation:

Primates are a class of mammals in which humans are included. It is a very varied group, ranging from 30 gram lemurs to over 200 kg gorillas.
