Answer:

The half-life of a radioactive isotope is the time such that the initial amount of the isotope is reduced to its half.

Thus, if we start with A grams of a given radioactive isotope, after a 1 half-life, we will have A/2 grams of the radioactive isotope.

In this case, we know that the sample has 110g of a radioactive isotope.

Then, after 1 half-life, we should have half of 110g, which is:

110g/2 = 55g

Then we should have 55 g of a radioactive isotope.

The answer that is closer to this result is option d (50 g), so that is the correct one.

The third law of thermodynamics,the principle of temperature.

This law states that the entropy at 0 is always equel to 0.

Answer:

Contemporary light microscopes are able to magnify objects up to about a thousand times. Since most cells are between 1 and 100 μm in diameter, they can be observed by light microscopy, as can some of the larger subcellular organelles, such as nuclei, chloroplasts, and mitochondria.

A cell is the smallest unit of a living thing. A living thing, whether made of one cell (like bacteria) or many cells (like a human), is called an organism. Thus, cells are the basic building blocks of all organisms.

Cells have many structures inside of them called organelles. These organelles are like the organs in a human and they help the cell stay alive. Each organelle has it's own specific function to help the cell survive. The nucleus of a eukaryotic cell directs the cell's activities and stores DNA.

If the cell grows beyond a certain limit, not enough material will be able to cross the membrane fast enough to accommodate the increased cellular volume. When this happens, the cell must divide into smaller cells with favorable surface area/volume ratios, or cease to function.
