Answer: the sum of the masses of the individual protons and neutrons is less than the mass of the stable Nucleus

Explanation:

Nuclei fission involved bonds breaking with the loss of quantity of Energy by the protons and Neutrons

Remember : e=mc2

Therefore, this breakage of bonds result in loss in masses of p and n.

However, in intact Nucleus the energies of the p and n are trapped in the intact bonds holding them together therefore heavier masses than when broken down.

Why are individual chromosomes more difficult to see during interphase than during mitosis?
bogdanovich [222]
In the interphase, they are really thin, just one strand which is only a few atoms wide (very challenging for an optical microscope and not too easy for the electronic one)

NEED HELP ASAP WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO

Explanation:

<u>Given reaction is:</u>

Mg + O₂ → MgO

<u>On the right side, we have:</u>

1 Mg, 1 O

<u>On the left side, we have:</u>

1 Mg, 2 O

  • Add 2 as a coefficient with Mg on the right side of rxn. (Will make it 2 Mg, 2 O)
  • Now, Add 2 as a coefficient with MgO of the left side of rxn. (Will make it 2 Mg, 2 O)

Hence, the reaction is balanced now!

<u>Final and balanced reaction is:</u>

2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO

\rule[225]{225}{2}

Hope this helped!

Which two systems most directly interact in the fuzzy millipede's defense against ants?
Elanso [62]

Two systems most directly interact in the fuzzy millipede's defense against ants are :

<u>muscular and integumentary</u>

<u></u>

Explanation:

  • The fuzzy millipede, Polyxenus fasciculatus, is found in Texas and is preyed upon by most species of ants.
  • Most millipedes defend themselves with a variety of chemicals secreted from pores along the body, although the tiny bristle millipedes are covered with tufts of detachable bristles.
  • Due to their lack of speed and their inability to bite or sting, millipedes' primary defence mechanism is to curl into a tight coil – protecting their delicate legs inside an armoured exoskeleton.
  • Reproduction in most species is carried out by modified male legs called gonopods, which transfer packets of sperm to females.
  • Millipedes overwinter, so they may hide in cracks or crevices throughout the whole winter and emerge in the spring.
  • These insects live in dark, damp places and feed on decaying plant life, sometimes damaging crops. But they can serve a good purpose too.
  • To protect itself against the ants, it ejects fibers from a tuft located at the tail end of its body. When an ant attacks, the millipede flexes its back end toward the ant and wipes the tufts against it.
