Answer:

C.

Explanation:

We have to keep in mind for this question that we have to take into account the <u>subscripts</u>.

Fe_3(PO_4)_2

The <u>subscript will affect only the number in the left</u>, so the first part would be:

Fe_3

In this part we will have 3 iron atoms. Then we will have:

(PO_4)_2

In the PO_4 we will have 1 atom of P and 4 atoms of O. (When we dont have any number as subscript we have to <u>assume that we have a "1</u>")

Then we have a "2" out side the the parenthesis (PO_4)_2, so we have to multiply by "2" all the <u>atoms inside the parenthesis</u>, so:

1 atom of P x 2 = 2

4 atoms of O x 2 = 8

So, in total we will have:

3 atoms of Fe + 8 atoms of O + 2 atoms of P = <u>13 atoms</u>

What do you think might be different between fat molecules and carbohydrate and protein molecules?
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

Long answer

Proteins are the building blocks of the body, each and every organ muscle and skin and cells are made of proteins. They can also be used for providing energy to the body in a state where other energy sources aren't available.

Fats are stored energy blocks which can be used by the body at its own convenience whenever there is a deficit of energy in the body. They can also be directly burnt to give energy in cases where energy needs of the body are not met by dietary intake

Carbohydrates are the most convenient and preferable source of energy in the body and are easily converted to give out immidiate energy to the body, excess carbohydrates can be converted into fats and stored for later usage as and when required by the body.

Proteins, fats and carbohydrates have many secondary functions and roles in the human body. If you are keen to know anything more specific feel free to ask.

<h3>Short answer :</h3>

Fats are used for energy after they are broken into fatty acids. Protein can also be used for energy, but the first job is to help with making hormones, muscle, and other proteins.

1. Which of the following indicates the number of protons?
Leokris [45]

Answer:

a)Atomic number

Explanation:

Element symbol signifies the element. For eg, Na is sodium. Mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons of an atom of an element. Atomic mass is the molar mass of the given element. Finally, atomic number is unique to each element because it signifies the number of protons of that element. EACH ELEMENT has their UNIQUE number of protons. For eg, atomic number of hydrogen is 1 because it has 1 proton, NO OTHER ELEMENT HAS ATOMIC NUMBER 1 because NO OTHER ELEMENT HAS 1 proton.
