3 0

Answer:

Amino Acids: Amino acids are a group of organic compounds that form the building blocks of proteins that make up 75% of the body. They are involved in almost every body function, including growth and development, healing and repair, normal digestion, and providing energy for your body.

the thesis statement names supporting points in the same order that they appear as the paragraphs in the body section.
algol [13]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

A thesis statement provides the idea of what the thesis is going to be in about two sentences. The sequence of the statement is simply the introduction of the topic and then the position the author is taking in regards to the topic by providing the supporting points in a similar way as provided in the body. This way the thesis statement does name the supporting points in the same order that they appear as the paragraphs in the body section. Hence, this statement is true as the supporting argument is presented in the same sequence as it is presented in the body section.

If 1/8 remains after 21 years, what is the half-life?
vagabundo [1.1K]

Half life formula

The number of unstable nuclei remaining after time t can be determined according to this equation:

N(t) = N(0) * 0.5^(t/T)

where:

N(t) is the remaining quantity of a substance after time t has elapsed.

N(0) is the initial quantity of this substance.

T is the half-life.

It is also possible to determine the remaining quantity of a substance using a few other parameters:

N(t) = N(0) * e^(-t/τ)

N(t) = N(0) * e^(-λt)

τ is the mean lifetime - the average amount of time a nucleus remains intact.

λ is the decay constant (rate of decay).

All three of the parameters characterizing a substance's radioactivity are related in the following way:

T = ln(2)/λ = ln(2)*τ

How to calculate the half life

Determine the initial amount of a substance. For example, N(0) = 2.5 kg.

Determine the final amount of a substance - for instance, N(t) = 2.1 kg.

Measure how long it took for that amount of material to decay. In our experiment, we observed that it took 5 minutes.

Input these values into our half life calculator. It will compute a result for you instantaneously - in this case, the half life is equal to 19.88 minutes.

If you are not certain that our calculator returned the correct result, you can always check it using the half life formula.

Of the following chemicals, which is least likely to be biologically magnified as it moves through food webs?a.radioactive isoto
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

e.DDT

Explanation:

DDT is biologically magnified and concentrated as it moves through the food web. This increase in concentration is due to Metabolism of DDT which excretes more slowly than the nutrients which moves from one trophic level to  next. so DDT accumulates in the body especially in the Fats.
