Which of the fallowing describes the difference between nitrogen-14 and nitrogen-15

Biology

Tasya [4]3 years ago

Nitrogen-14 has a mass number of 14 which means that it has a total of 14 protons and neutrons. When you subtract the atomic number of nitrogen from the mass number of 14 you get the number of neutrons (14-7), which gives you 7 neutrons. Now for nitrogen-15, you have a different mass number which means there is a different amount of neutrons (15-7), 8 neutrons. So the difference is the mass numbers and the number of neutrons (the number of protons remains the same however). When there are two versions of the same element, and they have the same number of protons, but different number of neutrons and different mass numbers, they are called isotopes. Hope this helped :)

The plant cell referred to in the question is attached to this answer.

The structure in the plant cell that represent the sites of ATP production from photosynthesis is the CHLOROPLAST; THAT IS OPTION B.

The photosynthesis reaction is divided into two stages, which are the light reaction and the dark reaction. The light reaction takes place in during the day in the presence of sunlight and it is during this period that ATP molecules are formed in the stroma of the chloroplast. During the dark reaction, the ATP produced during the light reaction together with NADPH are used as source of energy and reducing power respectively to manufacture carbohydrate from carbon dioxide.
