Biology
1 answer:
saul85 [17]1 year ago

B. An atom whose nucleus is unstable and emits particles and and energy. This is a Radioactive isotope.

The atomic nuclei of constituent atoms of the same element include the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. Radio isotopes are an element's radioactive isotopes. They can alternatively be described as atoms with an excess of energy in their nucleus or atoms with an unstable ratio of neutrons to protons. A radioisotope's unstable nucleus can form either spontaneously or as a result of a deliberate alteration of the atom. Radioisotope production can occur using either a cyclotron or a nuclear reactor. Molybdenum-99, which has a high neutron content, can be produced most effectively in nuclear reactors, whereas fluorine-18, which has a high proton content, can be produced most effectively in cyclotrons. Uranium is the most well-known illustration of a radioisotope that is found naturally. Uranium-238 constitutes all naturally occurring uranium with the exception of 0.7%.

Amoeba paramecium and spirogyra are diverse. why then are they all classified as protists
allochka39001 [22]
Even though amoeba, paramecium, and spirogyra are quite different, they are all often classified in the same group, Protista because this group holds various types of eukaryotic organisms that are heterotrophic and unicellular.
This type of classification is not based on evolutionary and genetic similarities, but only on the properties of being unicellular, so there are many vastly different organisms in this group.
