if an element has a half-life of 30 million years and there is 12.5% of it remaining in a rock, how old is that rock

Biology
1 answer:
Assoli18 [71]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The half-life of a substance is the amount of time it takes for half of that substance to decay. However, after two half-lives, half of the half remaining will decay, leaving you with one quarter of the original substance.

So, after 1 million years you will have 50% of the original substance remaining.

And, after 2 million years you will have 25% of the original substance remaining.

After 3 million years you will have 12.5% of the original substance remaining.

And after 4 million years you will have 6.25% of the original substance remaining.

Assessing aggregate exposure to a series of compounds with the same biological mechanism is called ________ exposure assessment
stira [4]

Assessing aggregate exposure to a series of compounds with the same biological mechanism is called cumulative exposure assessment.

<h3>What is cumulative exposure?</h3>

Because cumulative exposure evaluations evaluate exposure to numerous stressors via different pathways, they are referred to as "combined exposure assessments." Exposures to a single stressor are estimated using aggregate evaluations from different sources and pathways.

Cumulative evaluations portray real-world exposure more accurately, but they also provide an element of complexity not seen in typical exposure assessments , which evaluate stressors separately.

What is the open area where an enzyme attaches called?
arsen [322]

Answer:

The open area where the substrate is attached to an enzyme is called the active site.

Explanation:

The active site of an enzyme corresponds to the place where the tertiary structure of this molecule leaves a free space to couple the substrate and be able to catalyze a chemical reaction.

Since the enzyme-substrate complex functions as a <u>key lock system</u>, the active site has a three-dimensional configuration that only admits certain molecules as substrate, which determines its specificity.
