Answer:

B. 2

Explanation:

It's important to know what distinguishes an element and also the role that each sub particle of an atom plays. Understanding the concept of isotopes would be your way out in this particular question.

So what are isotopes?

Isotopes are simply atoms of an element with the same atomic number (number of protons) with different number of mass number (sum of number of protons and neutrons). This means the difference between isotopes are the number of neutrons but they are all atoms of the same element.

Examples of isotopes of Hydrogen include; Protium (Number of neutron = 0), Deuterium(Number of neutron = 1) and Tritium (Number of neutron = 2).

So we now unnderstand that what differentates element is the number of portons and not the neutrons. Back to the table, the atoms have two different number of protons ( 6 and 7). This means the correct option is B. 2

Why does photosynthesis require 6 molecules of carbon dioxide and 6 molecules of water to make 1 molecule of glucose

Scilla [17]

For each molecule of glucose produced: 6 water water molecules are oxidized, and come to be the supply of electrons for carbon dioxide reduction. 6 molecules of carbon dioxide are required, one for every carbon atom in glucose. 6 molecules of oxygen are produced as a with the aid of made from water oxidation.
