Answer: 100 grams of the parent isotope will remain after one half life.

Explanation:

Mass of the isotope present at initial stage = N_o=200 g

The mass of the parent isotope left after the time ,t=N

Time taken by the samle ,t = t_{\frac{1}{2}}

The half life of the sample :t_{\frac{1}{2}}

N=N_o\times e^{-\lambda t}

\lambda =\frac{0.693}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}

\ln[N]=ln[N^o]-\frac{0.693}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}\times t_{\frac{1}{2}}

2=\frac{[N_o]}{[N]}

[N]=\frac{N_o}{2}=\frac{200 g}{2}=100 g

100 grams of the parent isotope will remain after one half life.

Hypothesis: If the type of the food available changes, then the frequency of beak types will change, because birds with beaks mo
dangina [55]

The correct answer is: If generation 3 had flock distributions similar to those shown in the graph below.

After the change in food, the beak phenotype changes in order to adapt. So, if fruit is removed, the phenotype of birds’ beaks should change according to the change in environment. The graph below shows that there is no change, so it wouldn’t support the hypothesis that food changes beak types.

What is one difference between a cell wall and cell membrane
icang [17]

The correct answer is:

a cell wall is only included on the plant cell

the cell membrane is included in both plant and animal cells

Explanation:

The cell wall is the outer most integument of the cell. The cell wall covers the cell membrane. The cell membrane is also known as the plasma membrane or plasmalemma. There is no another name for the cell wall. The cell membrane is being in almost all types of cells.

The purpose of the cell membrane is the equivalent as that of the skin. It leaves the elements inside the cell from the outside. The cell membrane provides assistance to the cytoskeleton of the cell, gives shape to the cell, and helps in the formation of tissues by adding the matrix located in the extracellular. It allows the passage of a certain substance.A cell membrane is incorporated by the cell wall which forms the outer most integument.
