In the currently accepted atomic model, an electron orbits around the nucleus is NOT in a clear, defined path.
Explanation:
According to modern atomic models, like the Bohr theory, it is difficult to know the exact location and path of an electron around the nucleus. This is partly because the mere act of observing the electrons changes its position. This is because the electrons have negligible mass and therefore ‘hitting’ them with any form of radiation for ‘illumination’ changes its position, behavior, and properties. In addition, the movement of electrons is very rapid such that by the time one observes the instantaneous location of an electron, if it was possible, it will have changed its position.
Therefore modern theories, such as VSPER, model atoms based on properties of where an electron will highly likely be found. This is how the shells and subshells of electrons (s, p, d, f) are modeled.

energy enters an ecosystem through photosynthesis. By feeding on plants and on one another, animals play an important role in the movement of the matter/energy though. they also influence the quantity of plant and biomass present. so the anwser is D, secondary consumers to tertiary consumers
I believe the correct answer is: HIV is spread during unprotected sex or through contact with infected blood; it cannot be cured, but early treatment can minimize the long-term consequences.
<h2>Explanation:</h2>
Human Immunodeficiency Virus is a type of virus which causes an impairment of the immune system of the person making them susceptible to diseases such as tuberculosis, influenza and any other disease that can exploit this opportunity. It is spread by a person coming into direct contact with infected bodily fluids such as saliva during deep kissing, semen during intercourse, blood after an accident or even fluids when sharing needles and syringes for drug addicts. There is no cure but the current form of treatment slows down the virus to prevent some consequences.
<h2>Further Explanation:</h2>
The virus is enters the body through open wounds or surfaces such as the vagina or mouth where the skin is very thin and can tear. After penetrating the skin, it attaches to specific immune cells called CD8+ T-cells on points called receptors. It then enters the cell and replicates itself in the nucleus of the cell and as it goes out, it kills these immune cells making the person to have a weak immune system. The current drugs used called AntiRetroVirals (ARVs) such as the drug Zidovudin stops the virus from replicating thus reducing the total amount of virus in the body called the Viral Load. Some drugs target enzymes called proteases and reverse transcriptase that help the virus to replicate. This viral load is what is counted to estimate the total volume of HIV someone has in their body. Infected persons should use protection while having sex and also avoid sharing sharp objects to prevent transmission. They also need to take their medication to make them much more healthier in addition to taking proper balanced diets.
