Answer is: It is either a proton or a neutron.

Quark is a type of elementary particle and a fundamental constituent of matter.

Quarks form composite hadrons (protons and neutrons). Protons and neutrons are in the nucleus of an atom.

Hadrons include baryons (protons and neutrons) and mesons.

There are six types of quarks: up, down, strange, charm, bottom, and top.

The correct option is this: IT IS EITHER A PROTON OR A NEUTRON.

Each atom of an element is made up of three sub particles, these are: electrons, protons and neutrons. The protons and the neutrons are located inside the nucleus of the atom while the electrons are located outside the nucleus, where they orbit round the nucleus. Since the sub particle X given in the question is located in the nucleus of the atom, then it is either a proton or a neutron.

What is the mass of NaCl required to make 140 grams of a 12% solution of NaCl in water?

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

C. 17 grams.

Explanation:

∵ mass % = [mass of solute/mass of solution] x 100.

mass of solute (NaCl) = ??? g & mass of solution = 140.0 g.

∴ mass of NaCl = (mass %)(mass of solution)/100 = (12.0)(140.0)/100 = 16.80 g ≅ 17.0 g.

What is the metal cation in K,SO,? (cation is pronounced cat-ion and refers to a positively charged ion)

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

Potassium cation = K⁺²

Explanation:

The metal cation in K₂SO₄ is K⁺². While the anion is SO₄²⁻.

All the metals have tendency to lose the electrons and form cation. In given compound the metal is potassium so it should form the cation. The overall compound is neutral.

The charge on sulfate is -2. While the oxidation state of potassium is +1. So in order to make compound overall neutral there should be two potassium cation so that potassium becomes +2 and cancel the -2 charge on sulfate and make the charge on compound zero.

Cytochromes are critical participants in the electron transport chains used in photosynthesis and cellular respiration. How do c

goblinko [34]

Answer:

4) Each cytochrome has an iron‑containing heme group that accepts electrons and then donates the electrons to a more electronegative substance.

Explanation:

The cytochromes are proteins that contain heme prosthetic groups. Cytochromes undergo oxidation and reduction through loss or gain of a single electron by the iron atom in the heme of the cytochrome:

$Cytochrome-Fe²⁺ ⇄ cytochrome-Fe³⁺-e⁻$

The reduced form of ubiquinone (QH₂), an extraordinarily mobile transporter, transfers electrons to cytochrome reductase, a complex that contains cytochromes b and c₁, and a Fe-S center. This second complex reduces cytochrome c, a water-soluble membrane peripheral protein. Cytochrome c, like ubiquinone (Q), is a mobile electron transporter, which is transferred to cytochrome oxidase. This third complex contains the cytochromes a, a₃ and two copper ions. Heme iron and a copper ion of this oxidase transfer electrons to O₂, as the last acceptor, to form water.

Each transporter "downstream" is more electronegative than its neighbor "upstream"; oxygen is located in the inferior part of the chain. Thus, the electrons fall in an energetic gradient in the electron chain transport to a more stable localization in the electronegative oxygen atom.

What's the difference between incomplete dominance and codominance

EastWind [94]

In total dominance, the phenotype sees only one allele in the genotype. Both alleles in the genotype are seen in the phenotype during codominance. In incomplete dominance, in the phenotype, a mixture of the alleles in the genotype is seen.
