<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Low calcium level in body may cause a condition called hypocalcemia. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

When a <em>person has the condition of hypocalcemia his/her muscles and nerves that are releted to calcium levels in blood</em> will undergo spasms or twitching. This is generally termed as muscular irritability. <em>Muscle cramps in leg and arms are symptoms of hypocalcemia. </em>

When the fall in calcium levels is sudden then the <em>twitching of muscles</em> will be more evident. Calcium absorption is only possible if there is adequate supply of vitamin D in our body. <em>Thus the levels of calcium and vitamin D should be well maintained to avoid hypocalcemia. </em>

Which statement describes one feature of Rutherford’s model of the atom? The atom is mostly empty space. The atom cannot be divi
Dovator [93]

Answer: The atom is mostly empty space.

Explanation:

Before to Rutherford, the accepted model for the atom was Thomson's model:

The atoms were a positive sphere, with electrons occupying space in it".

This was called the "plum pudding model".

Then came Ernest Rutherford, and he created a model where the atoms are mostly empty space (void) with a positive charged nucleus (really compressed in the center), and the electrons were orbiting around it.

Then the correct option is that the atom is mostly empty space.

Very simply, when using metagenomics, distinctions between bacterial species are based upon what?
Alexeev081 [22]
Metagenomics is the study of genetic material recovered directly from environmental sample. Its field has been responsible for substantial advances in microbial ecology, evolution, and diversity over the past 5 to 10 years and many research laboratories are actively engaged in it now. Using metagenomics, the distinctions between bacterial species are based upon the comparison of DNA nucleotide sequences of different bacterial species.

For example, carbon has six protons and is atomic number 6. Carbon occurs naturally in three isotopes: carbon 12, which has 6 neutrons (plus 6 protons equals 12), carbon 13, which has 7 neutrons, and carbon 14, which has 8 neutrons. All three have six protons, but their neutron numbers - 6, 7, and 8, respectively - all differ. This means that all three isotopes have different atomic masses (carbon-14 being the heaviest), but share the same atomic number (Z=6).

ANSWER : Carbon 14 (hope this helps!)
