Answer:
Option E. Zirconium
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Length of side (L) of cube = 0.2 cm
Mass (m) of cube = 52 mg
Name of the unknown metal =?
Next, we shall determine the volume of the cube. This can be obtained as follow:
Length of side (L) of cube = 0.2 cm
Volume (V) of the cube =?
V = L³
V = 0.2³
V = 0.008 cm³
Next, we shall convert 52 mg to g. This can be obtained as follow:
1000 mg = 1 g
Therefore,
52 mg = 52 mg × 1 g / 1000 mg
52 mg = 0.052 g
Thus, 52 mg is equivalent to 0.052 g.
Next, we shall determine the density of the unknown metal. This can be obtained as follow:
Mass = 0.052 g.
Volume = 0.008 cm³
Density =?
Density = mass / volume
Density = 0.052 / 0.008
Density of the unknown metal = 6.5 g/cm³
Comparing the density of the unknown metal i.e 6.5 g/cm³ with those given in table in the above, we can conclude that the unknown metal is zirconium
Half life is the time that it takes for half of the original value of some amount of a radioactive element to decay.
We have the following equation representing the half-life decay:
A is the resulting amount after t time
Ao is the initial amount = 50 mg
t= Elapsed time
t half is the half-life of the substance = 14.3 days
We replace the know values into the equation to have an exponential decay function for a 50mg sample
That would be the answer for a)
To know the P-32 remaining after 84 days we have to replace this value in the equation:
So, after 84 days the P-32 remaining will be 0.85 mg

Answer:
a. Remaining at rest requires the use of ATP.
Explanation:
The resting membrane potential is maintained by the sodium-potassium pump. The sodium potassium pump does this by actively pumping sodium ions out of the cell and potassium ions inside the cell in a ratio of 3:2. This movement of ions by the sodium-potassium pump is against their concentration gradient. In a neuron at rest, there are more sodium ions outside the cell than there are inside the cell. Also, there are are more potassium ions inside the cell than there are outside the cell. However, there are ion channels through which these ions enter and leave the cell. Sodium ion channels allow sodium to enter the cell following its concentration gradient, whereas, potassium ion channels allow potassium to leave the cell following its concentration gradient. However, more potassium ions leave the cell than do sodium ions enter the cell because of the higher permeability of the cell to potassium ions.
In order to maintain the resting membrane potential, the sodium potassium pump powered by the hydrolysis of an ATP molecules pumps sodium ions out of the cell and potassium ions into the cell.
<em>Therefore, the correct option is A, as ATP is needed by the sodium-potassium pump in order to maintain the resting membrane potential.</em>
