Answer:

1/32 of the original amount.

Explanation:

Each half-life is half of the prior life so:

1st half-life = 1/2

2nd half-life = 1/4

3rd half-life = 1/8

4th half-life = 1/16

5th half-life = 1/32

Nuetrik [128]
When the two waves meet, there are two possibilities:

1.If the waves were both in phase and moving in the same direction, then, the amplitude will double, this is called constructive interference.
2. If the two waves were exactly out of phase, then they will try to move the water surface in all directions, thus, no movement and the waves cancel out. This is called destructive interference.

All organisms must perform life-sustaining metabolic processes in order to survive.
Alik [6]

Explanation:

  • Unicellular organisms or single celled organisms that are made up only of one cell. Hence the name.
  • Unicellular organisms are further divided into Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic organisms
  • Examples of prokaryotic organisms are bacteria and Eukaryotic are protozoa and unicellular algae, however many eukaryotes are multi cellular as well.
  • These organisms have to carry out life sustaining metabolic processes for their survival.
  • These processes are metabolism, homeostasis and reproduction. Metabolism is important as it involves conversion of food into energy for cellular processes. Homeostasis for maintaining a constant internal physical and chemical conditions and reproduction is by cell division.
  • Multi cellular organisms as the name says unlike unicellular organisms consists of more than one cells.
  • Examples of multi cellular organisms are animals, land plants etc.,
  • Metabolic process in multi cellular organisms is a broad category of processes happening for these organisms which involves chemical reactions and pathways that happen at organismal state, transporting substances between the cells.

State two biological reasons why you consider that the loss of biodiversity matters.
Marat540 [252]
Loss of biodiversity matters because it affects the overall sustainability of organisms in an ecosystem. It also affects how badly an ecosystem will be affected after something, maybe a natural disaster, or maybe a disease, strikes the region. (For example, if a disease affects a certain species of organism, if there was a lot of biodiversity among individuals, some will have some kind of natural immunity to that disease and survive, passing on their favorable traits to the next generation. However, if everybody was the same and did not have the immunity to that disease, that entire population would eventually die out.) <- This is also the reason that lack of biodiversity will inhibit natural selection.
Hope that helped you.
