A) How long will it take for 40.0 grams of Radium-226 (Ra-226) to decay to leave a total of 2.5 grams of Ra-226? Ra-226 has a ha

lf-life of 1600 years.
B) If there are 80.0 grams of Neptunium-240 (Np-240), how much Neptunium-240 will remain after 4 hours? The half-life of Neptunium-24 is 1 hour.

Answer:

a) 6400 years

b) 5 grams

Explanation:

a) to get 6400 years, the 40 grams is halved 4 times to get to 2.5g and 4 times 1600 is 6400

b) 80 is halved 4 times and the final result you get is 5 grams

80/2= 40/2= 20/2=10/2=5

each divided by 2 represents 1 hour

Which of the following is a true statement?Anabolic pathways build molecules, require energy, and are endergonic.Anabolic pathwa
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

A: Anabolic pathways build molecules, require energy and are endergonic

Explanation:

Anabolism and catabolism are the two important process of metabolism - a process through which cells get energy to drive various processes within the body and get rid of toxic wastes.

Anabolic and catabolic reactions can be described as opposing sides of the same coin. While anabolism refers to the various reactions that build up molecules within the cell, catabolism has to do with the breakdown of big or complex molecules into smaller ones.

Both processes involves energy. Anabolic reactions require energy to drive the building up process and therefore referred to as endergonic reactions. On the other hand, catabolic reactions liberate energy during the breaking down of complex molecules and therefore referred to exergonic reactions.

A good example of anabolic reaction is photosynthesis which involves the building up of carbohydrate (glucose) using carbon-dioxide, water molecule and energy while a good example of catabolic reaction is respiration which involves the breakdown of carbohydrates into carbon-dioxide, water molecules and the release of energy.

Hence, the only correct option is A.
