Alexander Litvinenko was poisoned with 10 micrograms of the radioactive substance Polonium-210. Since radioactive decay follows

a compounded continuously model, we can determine the amount of substance left in Alexander Litvinenko's body at any given time. If Polonium-210 has a decay rate of .502%, then determine the amount of Polonium-210 left in his body after 115 days. Provide 3 decimal places and a label in your answer.

Answer:

Left amount of Polonium-210 after 115 days will be 4.5927 microgram

Explanation:

We have given initial mass of Polonium-210 N_0=10microgram

Decay rate x= 0.502% = 0.00502

Time t = 115 days

We have to find the left amount of Polonium -210 after 115 days

We know that left amount is given by

N=N_0e^{-xt}=10e^{-0.00502\times 115}=4.5927microgram

So left amount of Polonium-210 after 115 days will be 4.5927 microgram

The diastolic blood pressure represents the?
Nesterboy [21]

The diastolic pressure refers the  two values are recorded during the measurement of blood pressure.It is the number or the bottom number indicates the pressure in the arteries when the heart rests between beats.

Less then 80 are the normal diastolic blood pressure. Prehypertension which is indicaated by the blood pressure between 80 to 90. The first, systolic pressure, which represents the peak arterial pressure during systole. The second, that represent minimum arterial pressure during diastole.

the force the heart exerts on the walls of the arteries in between beats can be easily measured by the diastolic blood pressure .Diastolic blood pressure is mainly determined by the total arterial peripheral resistance which majorly influence  Arterial elastance and compliance.

Tion 5.
Sedaia [141]

A cell membrane pump helps human cells to maintain a relatively constant sodium and potassium  concentration.

<u>Option: A</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Sodium potassium pump is a plasma membrane protein that utilizes energy ATP — Triphosphate Adenosine turning into ADP — Adenosine Diphosphate to deliver intracellular and extracellular sodium (NA+) and potassium (K+) ions sequentially. The purpose of this entire mechanism is to preserve cell equilibrium.

The extracellular medium has a greater concentration of Na while the K concentration of the intracellular fluid is lower. Proteins trap sodium ions in the cytoplasm and pump them out from the cells to preserve cell stability while preserving concentrations. Within the cells proteins inject potassium ions into the cell.
