Answer:

6400 years

Explanation:

Given that;

N/No =(1/2)^t/t1/2

No = amount of radioactive material originally present

N = amount of radioactive material present at time t

t= time taken for N amount of radioactive material to remain

t1/2 = have life of the radioactive material

2.5/40 = (1/2)^t/1600

1/16 =  (1/2)^t/1600

(1/2)^4 = (1/2)^t/1600

4 = t/1600

t = 4 * 1600

t = 6400 years

Which factors tend to promote higher biodiversity in an ecosystem? Check all that apply.
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer: diversity of niches

, large area and warm climate

Explanation:

An ecosystem is a biotic community in which the living beings interact with their non-living physical environment. The following factors which are responsible for higher biodiversity in an ecosystem:

Diversity of niches: A niche can be define as the functional role an organism performs in an ecosystem so as to sustain it's life. For example the type of habitat, food and breeding season chosen by the organism. With the increase in the differences in the diversity of niches the organism exhibit variations and differences from the members of the same species or from the members of the other species.

Large area: The large area can support the reproduction and abundance of members which belongs to different species hence will help in promoting higher biodiversity in a region.

Warm climate: The warm climatic range will offer the chances of adaptations to the living organisms to sustain their lives in harsh environmental conditions. This will lead to evolution of  new species from the parent species.

A disease was caused by a bacterium; you want to produce a biological product to kill this bacterium. Which product you have to
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

The product that must be produced to kill a bacterium —which causes a disease— is an antibiotic, which through biotechnology can investigate the structure of the bacterium and synthesize the chemical formula needed to produce antibiotics in high amounts.

Explanation:

Antibiotics are specific medicines for the treatment of infectious diseases, produced by bacteria. <u>Antibiotics can kill bacteria and prevent their replication</u>.

If a disease is produced by bacteria, the product that is necessary to kill those microbes is an antibiotic, for which biotechnology is useful.

By using biotechnology —a branch of biology that uses technology as a research and development tool— it is possible:

  • <em>Know the structure, functions and behavior of pathogenic bacterial strains. </em>
  • <em>Create chemical formulas -antibiotics- that serve to effectively eliminate bacteria, and cure infectious diseases. </em>
  • <em>The synthesis and production of antibiotics on a large scale, allowing their sufficient availability for use.</em>
