Microorganisms that are capable of causing disease are called pathogens. Although microorganisms that cause disease often receive the most attention, it is important to note that most microorganisms do not cause disease. In fact, many probably provide some protection against harmful microorganisms because they effectively compete with the harmful organisms for resources, preventing them from growing.
Answer:
The correct answer is option A, the type of isotope
Explanation:
The half life of a radioactive substance is a constant value and thus it is not affected by the temperature, catalyst or mass of the substance. Basically it is the time taken by a radioactive substance to reduce its mass by half of its actual value. Radioactive decay takes place only when the atomic nucleus becomes unstable and thus the isotope type is the only factor which affects the radioactive decay of any element.
B - Hydrogen Bond
A and D are incorrect as these are bonds either between metals and nonmetals or non metals and non metals. C is incorrect as this term is a joining of sugar molecules.
Hope this helps!
