A radioactive element has a half-life of 2 days. What percentage would remain radioactive after 6 days? b. If the original mass was 120 grams, how much would have decayed after 6 days?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is -

A.  12.5%

B. 105 grams.

Explanation:

Half-life is the amount of time requires to decay or convert half of the atoms of the compound or element. It is denoted by the t1/.

In this question, it is given that an element has a half-life of two days which means it becomes half of the initial amount in two days.

A. So, after six days the percentage of the amount remaining that would be

= 50*1/3

(6 days = three half-life cycle) and (one-half cycle = 50% of initial value)

= 12.5% of its initial value.

B. If the original amount of the element was 120 gram then the amount of element that decayed in six days would be:

= Initial value - remain value

= 120 - (120*12.5/100)

= 120 -15 grams

= 105 grams.

What is actually cycled in a web of organisms?

Answers

Answer:

Carbondioxide gas.

Explanation:

Carbondioxide gas is actually cycled in a web of organisms, The plants takes carbondioxide gas for the process of photosynthesis, this plant is eaten by herbivores for energy and carbondioxide is released in the process of respiration. After that, carnivores feed on these herbivores and oxygen is used in the breakdown of food for releasing energy and carbondioxide gas is also released from the body through breathing so the cycle of carbondioxide gas is continue.

Which part of the Na /Glucose symporter in the apical surface of an epithelial cell would you mutate so that it can transport fructose instead of glucose into the cell

Answers

Answer:

The binding site for glucose

Explanation:

Symporters are integral membrane proteins that control the entry and exit of a specific type of molecule across the cell membrane in a mode that is dependent on the transport of a second specific type of molecule in the same direction. Symporters are membrane cotransporter proteins involved in active transport, i.e.., they require energy (usually in the form of ATP) to transport substances in the same direction. The Sodium (Na+)-Dependent Glucose Transporter 1 (SGLT1) is a cotransporter involved in the transport of glucose across cell membranes of enterocyte intestinal absorptive cells. For such purpose, SGLT1 contains two Na+-binding site sites, one of them overlapping the glucose-binding site. It has been shown that mutations at the glucose-binding site may alter the ability of SGLT1 to transport glucose.

Question 1- Name 2 ways that humans affect land ecosystems.

Answers

Humans impact the physical environment in many ways: overpopulation, pollution, burning fossil fuels, and deforestation. Changes like these have triggered climate change, soil erosion, poor air quality, and undrinkable water. Also Humans may destroy natural landscapes as they mine resources and urbanize areas. This is detrimental, as it displaces residing species, reducing available habitats and food sources. ... This can negatively effect an ecosystem because the introduced species may outcompete native organisms and displace them.

If i’m measuring how much water has increased in a cup as ice melts and i mark the side of the cup as measurement, what is my independent and dependent variable?

Answers

Answer:

Dependent variable - increase in water level

Melting rate of ice - independent variable

Explanation:

Independent variables usually refers to the set of conditions, values or constraint used or adopted by an experimenter or researcher in other to cause a change in the measured variable also called the dependent variable.

The independent variable is therefore purposely used to depict or show changes in the dependent variable. The dependent variable is the measured variable whose behavior or output lies on the value of the independent variable.

In the scenario above, the dependent variable is the increase in water level,as it is what is being measured. And it is dependent on the Melting rate of ice, which is the independent variable.

That is change in water level in the cup, depends on the rate at which ice melts

Meat sharing can be considered an example of cooperation among primates. Which of the following is NOT a cooperative behavior observed among primates?
a. warning calls
b. nut cracking
c. grooming
d. group hunting
e. caring for a subadult by someone other than the mother

Answers

Answer:

e.

Explanation:

The correct answer would be caring for a subadult by someone other than the mother.

Cooperation or cooperative actions are those actions that are carried out by two or more individuals in order to achieve a common goal or goals.

Warning calls are carried out by one or two individuals in order to warn those around of a particular danger. Nut cracking among primates requires the collective efforts of many individuals. Grooming is a social behavior among primates that requires the cleaning up and maintenance of boy hygiene of an individual by another individual. Group hunting involves the collective efforts of a group of primates.

The only option that does not require cooperation is caring for a subadult by someone other than the mother.

The correct option is e.

Explanation:

A. Red blood cell: Blood cell that is a product of the medulla. These cells contain hemoglobin that carries oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body.

B. Megakaryocyte:  Big cell easy to recognize for its size. Differs from other cells for being polyploid, growing by endomitosis, and being bigger. They have important biological functions. The most important one is the formation of plaquettes, necessary for hemostasia, damaged vessels reparation, and tissue healing.

C. Eosinophil: Granulosites. Immune System cells, active during infections, pathologies, inflammations, and allergies.  Originated in the medulla and transported to the blood and organs. One of their functions is to defend the organisms from parasite infections, helping to destroy the pathogen.

D. Basophil: Granulosites. Immune System cells.  in the medulla and transported to the blood. Only when there are parasite infections they can be present in tissues and organs. They release substances such as histamine that make possible the inflammatory process.

E. Monocyte: Agranulocyte phagocyte. Originated in the medulla and transported to the rest of the body. They differentiate into macrophages in tissues. They defend the body from bacteria and viruses. When monocyte values are elevated, usually means that there is an important process of infection.

F. Neutrophil: Phagocytic Leucocytes polymorphonuclear found in the peripheric blood. Compose the first defense line against bacterial and fungal infections.  Product of the medulla and transported to the blood. They are the first to arrive at the affected tissue, followed by lymphocytes and macrophages.    

G. Lymphocyte: Leucocyte. There are two types of lymphocytes: B cells, which can produce antibodies in the presence of bacteria, viruses, and toxins. T cells can destroy infected cells from the body. They all circulate in the blood.

H. Formed elements: Elements that might be found suspended in the plasma. These include all the mentioned cells and cell fragments      

I. Plasma: Transparent, acellular, and kind of yellow liquid that represents 55% of the blood volume.
