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⁾)

Deamination occurs mostly in the brain. T/F
ki77a [65]

The answer is false.

Deamination is the process (reaction) in which an amine group is removed from a molecule of amino acid. The enzymes that are involved in this reaction are called deaminases. Deamination can be used for energy(break down of amino acids), when there is too much protein intake. Amine group is converted to ammonia that is then converted to urea or uric acid in the urea cycle and at the end excreted through the urine.

In the human body, deamination occurs mostly in the liver (e.g. urea cycle), but also in the kidneys (deamination of glutamate).
