Mass number is the number of protons and neutrons in an atom, and it tells us about the mass of the atom<span> in amu, or </span>atomic mass units. Atomic mass<span> is the average</span>mass of all the isotopes of a certain type. It is a weighted average that takes into account the abundances of all of the different isotopes.The full chemical symbol for an element shows its mass number at the top, and its atomic number at the bottom. This symbol tells you that the chlorine atom<span> has 17 protons. It will also have 17 electrons, because the </span>number of protons and electrons in an atom is the same.The atomic number specifies how many protons an element has in its nucleus. In the periodic table<span> of the elements, elements are arranged in order of ascending atomic number. Isotopes are atoms that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.</span>

Which of the following is not a product of the light reactions of photosynthesis? 1) NADPH 2) NADH 3) ATP 4) Oxygen
n200080 [17]

Answer:

The correct option is number 2. NADH is not  product of light reactions of photosynthesis.

Explanation:

The light energy from the sun is captured by the pigmented molecule, chlorophyll, of the plants. This light energy is converted into chemical energy by a serious of light-dependent reactions. The main products of light-dependent reactions are the energy molecule ATP and NADPH. Oxygen is released as a by-product during photosynthesis. Hence, all the option 1,3 and 4 are produced during the light reactions except for option 2 i.e NADH.

Cancers may be either inherited or they may be induced by environmental factors such as carcinogens and radiation. Select the st
fomenos

Answer:

Option (2) and (3).

Explanation:

Cancer is the uncontrolled division of the cell that might results in the loss of apoptosis in the cells. The cancer cell shows the property like angiogenesis and loss of contact inhibition.

Both the hereditary factors like mutations in some gene and environmental factors like any mutagen may inhibit the process of the cell division. Both these factors mainly inhibits the gene that are responsible for the regulation of the cell cycle like p53, Rb.

Thus, the correct answer is option (2) and (3).
