The right answer is 28 years.

The half-life, or period of a radioactive isotope, is the time required for half of the nuclei of this isotope initially present to decay naturally.

One gram of pure 90 strontium has a radioactivity of 5.11 TBq. Its beta radiation is not penetrating, which makes it difficult to measure when it is in the soil or a matrix. It is very harmful when the particle is inhaled or ingested.

The half life is exactly what it means. We want to know how many years it takes for the Strontium-90 to go from 100% to 50% to 25% etc

Composed of a phosohlipid bilayer
Zigmanuir [339]

The cell membrane is primarily composed of a mix of proteins and phospholipids

Phospholipids are a major component of cell membranes.  They a head and a tail. The head is hydrophilic  (attracted to water) and the tail is hydrophobic (repelled by water).

They form a bilayer in which their hydrophilic heads face the aqueous cytosol and extracellular fluid  while their hydrophobic tails face away from the cytosol  and extracellular fluid.

The lipid bilayer is semi - permeable
