<span>Fungal diseases are difficult to treat mainly because they are eukaryotic organisms just like us humans, and therefore have less differences for drugs to target without harming the human body as well. Most antibiotics target e.g. the peptidoglycan layer in the bacterial (a prokaryote) cell wall, which is a safe target since eukaryotic cells do not have equivalent structures. Similarly many differences in metabolic pathways between humans and prokaryotes is often targeted by antibiotics, but metabolism of fungi and humans is much more uniform, and hence it is difficult to exclusively target the fungi only.
HOPE THIS HELPS!

Atomic number is 8 and atomic mass is taken as 16 amu
The half-life equation is written as:
An = Aoe^-kt
We use this equation for the solution. We do as follows:
5.5 = 176e^-k(165)
k = 0.02
<span>What is the half-life of the goo in minutes?
</span>
0.5 = e^-0.02t
t = 34.66 minutes <----HALF-LIFE
Find a formula for G(t) , the amount of goo remaining at time t.G(t)=?
G(t) = 176e^-0.02t
How many grams of goo will remain after 50 minutes?
G(t) = 176e^-0.02(50) = 64.75 g
