What is the difference between an ion and an atom?

Biology
1 answer:
vaieri [72.5K]3 years ago

An atom can be an ion, but not all ions are atoms. The difference between an atom and an ion has to do with net electrical charge. ... The identity of an element is determined by the number of positively charged protons in the atom's nucleus. A stable atom contains the same number of electrons as protons and no net charge.
I hope it helps, I tried to keep it as concise as possible.

Vacuole: Saclike storage structure in the cell. can store water, nutrients, and even toxic substances.

Mitochondrion: An organelle containing enzymes responsible for producing energy. (Metabolism/respiration)

Chloroplast: An organelle found in the cells of plants and some other organisms that captures the energy from sunlight and converts it into chemical energy (photosynthesis).
