The atomic mass of an element

Biology
2 answers:
erica [24]3 years ago
5 0

Answer and explanation;

The atomic mass of a single atom is simply its total mass and is typically expressed in atomic mass units or amu.

Atomic mass is typically calculated by adding the number of protons and neutrons together, ignoring the electrons because of their small size. Protons and neutrons are the larger particles, and are found in the nucleus, which is the core of the atom.

For example; An atom of Carbon has 6 protons and 6 neutrons, it is given an atomic mass of 12 a.m.u which makes each proton and neutron in the nucleus of any element contribute 1 a.m.u to the atom's atomic mass.

A derived trait of land plants is the presence of small openings that allow gaseous exchange between the plant and its environme
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

B. stomata.  

Explanation:

Stomata are openings in the surface of the plant epidermis through which gases and water vapor pass. They are formed by two elongated cells whose shape is similar to bean grain or dumbbell depending on the species.  These cells are called guard cells, and in their midst there is a slit called the ostiole.

The stomata make the exchanges between the external and internal environment of the plant. They regulate the size of the opening, so it is possible to increase or decrease the rate of perspiration of the plant.

Stomata are usually located at the bottom of the leaf, but in aquatic plants such as the water lily they are at the top and still in vertical growing plants on both sides.

Find out which animal is actually most closely related to the hawk: shark, bat, or alligator. Report your findings and explanati
allsm [11]

Hi, In my opinion, <u>bat</u> will be the most closely related to hawk.

<h2>Why?</h2>

This is because, when we consider the photo of a bat and a hawk, we notice the similarities like:-

• Wings- They have nearly the same short wings decreasing the area of contact with air and enabling higher flight area.

• Presence of small snouted beak-like structure and presence of less or more similar color.

• Both live in trees and are normally not companiable with humans.

• Hawks and bats are both having a similar anatomy, not body, I meant that they have similar positioning of organs like stomach, pancreas etc.

• They have the sense of locating prey miles away, enabling easier locating of food.

Hope this helps...
