<u>Answer:</u> The mass number of an element tells us about the number of particles present in the nucleus of an atom

<u>Explanation:</u>

Nucleons are defined as the sub-atomic particles which are present in the nucleus of an atom. Nucleons are protons and neutrons.

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or electrons that are present in a neutral atom.

Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons

Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and neutrons that are present in an atom.

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

<u>For Example:</u>  Taking an isotope of chlorine, Cl-35

Atomic number = Number of protons = 17

Mass number = Nucleons = 35

Hence, the mass number of an element tells us about the number of particles present in the nucleus of an atom

The data shows that recently the shark population has increased. How will the increase in the shark population affect the other
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

There is no data to show but there would definitely be a decrease in the population of the other organisms in lower trophic level (sea otter).

Explanation:

This question involves an aquatic food chain involving organisms like clams, sea stars, sea otters, and sharks. In this question, the shark appears to occupy the highest trophic level i.e. tertiary consumer. Ideally, as the food chain progresses from the lowest to highest trophic level, the population of each organism decreases.

However, an increase in the population of sharks will mean more mouths to feed on other consumers. Hence, causing a decrease in the population of other organisms in lower trophic level especially the organism that occupies the secondary consumer trophic level.
