Graph
Using the data from the table, make a graph of the number of atoms remaining after each trial.
Questions
1. How many trials did it take for half of the Virtualium atoms to decay?
1 trial
2. Suppose each trial equals 1,000 years. What is the half-life of Virtualium?
1000 years
3. Suppose each trial equals 1,000 years. After half (50) of the Virtualium cubes were removed from the box, about how long did it take for half of the rest of the cubes to decay?
5000 years
4. Imagine you have a radioactive sample containing both Virtualium and decayed atoms of Virtualium. After analysis, you find it contains 10 atoms of Virtualium and 40 decayed atoms. How old is your sample? (Hint: You must use the half-life of Virtualium determined earlier in the activity.)
It is 8000 years old.

In this experiment you were asked to present three possible mechanisms. describe those mechanisms here and include drawings of those mechanisms. how will the bromination of trans-cinnamic acid and trans-stilbene allow you to distinguish between the three possibilities? what would you expect to find in your data in each scenario?

Baroreceptors in the aortic arch and carotid bodies are mechanoreceptors that respond to the stretch that occurs in these arterial walls with changes in blood pressure. if pressure changes rapidly, the baroreceptors initiate a feedback mechanism that reduces blood pressure; however, if pressure changes slowly, as in developing hypertension, the receptors do not respond. given this information, the baroreceptors are most likely which type of receptor?
