Radioactive atom decay in time in the first exp law that comes to mind. Any
more examples?

1) Cell/bacteria growth and division (bacteria divide every 20 minutes, mammalian cels every 8 hours)
2) pH and thermal energy scales
3) Chemical reaction rates
4) Sensory perception- hearing, vision, smell, taste
