<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

half the sample to decay.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

The half-life of a radioisotope is the amount of time it takes for<em><u> half the sample to decay. </u></em>

  • <em><u>Radioactive particles or nuclides undergoes the process called radioactivity </u></em>which is the spontaneous decay of radioactive materials to emit radiation such as beta particle, alpha particle and also associated with energy loss.
  • <em><u>Half-life is the time taken by a radioactive substance or material to decay by half of the original isotope to decay.</u></em> For instance; <em><u>when the half life of 100 g of substance X is 5 years, this means that after five years only 50 g of the substance would remain.</u></em>

The half-life of a radioisotope is the amount of time it takes for half the sample to decay. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the second option. The other choices are incorrect and can be negated. I hope that this is the answer that has come to your great help.

Use the graph below to answer the following question: What is happening to the object's velocity?
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

The object's velocity is increasing

Explanation:

From the graph above, we can deduce that the velocity is increasing. From the first stage, v=m/s=0.

At the third stage, v=20/2= 10m/s.

At the 5th stage, v=80/4=20m/s.

This shows velocity is increasing.

Carlita was hired today for a job as a laboratory assistant. She will work for professor of molecular biology who wants to make
Over [174]

Answer: Option C) Determining the link between genes and the traits they influence.

Explanation:

First, the field of molecular biology seeks to understand the relationship between genes and proteins. Now, since genes are specific sequences on the DNA that codes for functional proteins, and these proteins make up the various traits physically expressed in living organisms such as skin color, blood group etc.

Then, the specific research goal of Carlita would be determining how genes control the expression of individual traits at the molecular level

What does the small vacuole do?
Marina86 [1]
<span>Vacuoles are organelles present in plant cells, some animal, and some prokaryotic cells. There is a difference in size between plant and animal cells. Plant cells usually have one large vacuole while animal cells have a number of small vacuoles. If the term "small vacuoles" is used for vacuoles in animal cells, then they are involved in overcoming the foreign particles, storage of waste and during the exocytosis, and invagination of the cell membrane during engulfing the bacteria.</span>

What is photosynthesis, and what is it's main goal?
SpyIntel [72]

Answer: Photosynthesis is the process of when a plant makes it's own food, and the main goal is to convert solar energy to chemical energy.

Explanation: Plants use photosynthesis by taking the sunlight, to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water. Since plants can't move and consume other organisms, they use photosynthesis. The formula is: 6CO_2+6H_2O=C_6H_1_2O_6+6O_2.

Like I said, the main goal is converting solar energy to chemical energy then store the chemical energy for future use, for example it can be used for Chemical batteries, Natural gas, Heat, Food, etc.
