The_ of an element tells how many particles are in the nucleus of each atom.

Biology

Ugo [173]2 years ago

<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

5. The permease (transporter) allows glucose and Na into the cell requires ATP. True or False?
dem82 [27]

Answer: 5. False 6. False

Explanation: The permeases are membrane transport proteins, they're secondary active transporter that allow the movement of a specific molecule in or out of the cell in the direction of a concentration gradient, it is a form of facilitated diffusion and does not require energy. The permease secondary transporter uses the Na ion concentration to move glucose into the cell.

When the ion concentration gradient is set, the concentration of glucose in the cell is higher than the concentration of blood. Glucose will move to the blood by passive diffusion through permease secondary transporter.

The transport mechanism is carrier mediated it does not require energy.
