The decay of Francium produces radium-223 (Ra-223) through a beta decay or into astatine-219 through an alpha decay. The atomic number of Francium is 87, and that of Astatine is 85.

<h3>What is beta decay?</h3>

Beta decay is a type of radioactive decay in which a beta ray is emitted from the nucleus of an atom. During the beta decay, a proton in the nucleus is transformed into a neutron and vice versa which results into change in the number of proton in the nucleus. If a proton is converted to a neutron, then it is said to be β+ decay. And, if a neutron is converted to a proton, then it is said to be β– decay.

In this reaction, an atom of Francium (Fr-223) is undergoing a beta decay to produce radium (Ra-88) by the conversion of a neutron into a proton.

The lysosome is an organelle that is important to cellular homeostasis through its degradation of different compounds. Degradati
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

The presence of proton pumps in the lysosome membrane that allows the organelle to maintain higher concentrations of protons.

Explanation:

Lysosomes are known as a membrane-bound cell organelle that is present in many animal cells. They are spherical type vesicles in structure. Lysosomes contain hydrolytic enzymes these enzymes help in the break down of different kinds of biomolecules.

The lysosomal membrane helps to protect the cytosol, and rest of the cells, from the degradative enzymes which are present in the lysosome. They have the ability to maintains their pH by pumping in H+ ions (protons) from the cytosol across the membrane with the help of chloride ion channels and proton pumps.

Which of the following organic compounds is the main source of energy for living things?a.carbohydratesc.nucleic acidsb.lipidsd.
Alex Ar [27]
Well, carbohydrates burn and release energy. Nucleic acids give identity (like DNA, RNA). Lipids also give energy, but it's more difficult (they must be first turned into carbohydrates first). Proteins are building blocks for the cells.
Now, knowing all of this should make it easy to choose the correct answer :)

Match each organelle with the correct function.
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

EUKARYOTIC CELL STRUCTURE

Unlike prokaryotic cells, eukaryotic cells have several membrane-bound organelles. The mitochondria convert chemical energy from food into ATP, which is used to power all cell activities. The number of mitochondrion in a cell is determined by the cell's function. Muscle cells require a lot of energy, so they contain many mitochondria. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a packaging and storage facility. Rough ER contains ribosomes and is responsible for protein synthesis. Smooth ER lacks ribosomes. It is responsible for the production and storage of lipids and steroids, as well as the storage of calcium ions. The Golgi body works with the ER to create complex molecules. In animal cells, the Golgi body also creates the lysosomes that break down food and cell waste.

Like animal cells, plant cells have mitochondria, rough and smooth ER, Golgi bodies, nuclei, and cell membranes. Unlike animal cells, plant cells do not have lysosomes. They also contain two unique organelles – cell walls and chloroplasts. The main function of a cell wall is structure and support. The primary job of chloroplasts is photosynthesis. These organelles contain chlorophyll, which traps solar energy. Plant cells also have a large central vacuole that stores water and helps the cell maintain its shape.
