If the diameter of an atom is 1 × 10-8 cm, what is the approximate diameter of its nucleus

Here we have to find the diameter of nucleus as the diameter of atom is given.
Diameter of atom is 1 x 10⁻⁸ cm
Radius of atom = diameter/2
so, radius of atom = 1 x 10⁻⁸ cm/2 = 5 x 10⁻⁹ cm
To find diameter of nucleus, first we have to find the radius of nucleus by using this formula,
R = rA⁽¹/³⁾     where <span>R = radius of nucleus, r = radius of atom and A is a nucleon number, which is different for every atom
so, R=(5x10</span>⁻⁹)A⁽¹/³⁾  
here atom is not mentioned, so we don't know the value of A
and Dimeter (D) = 2R, R = D/2
 D/2 = (5x10⁻⁹)A⁽¹/³⁾
Diameter of nucleus (D) = 2((5x10⁻⁹)A⁽¹/³⁾)

Glucose will pass through a cell membrane with the aid of what? lipids, carbohydrates, or proteins
BartSMP [9]
Lipids will aid glucose to pass through cell membrane. This is because glucose is a very large molecule which makes it hard to pass through the cell membrane through simple diffusion. Lipids carry glucose through active transport and is diffused towards the membranes of the red blood cells.
