For atoms in the periodic table, the given mass number is the sum of the number of the protons (also called the atomic number) and the number of the neutrons inside its nucleus. Mathematically,
                              mass number = atomic number + number of neutrons
Substituting,
                               39 = 19  + n
                                    n = 39 - 19 = 20
Therefore, the answer is not found in the choices.

Answer:

N = 20

Explanation:

As we know that mass number is the sum of number of protons and number of neutrons present in the atom

So we will have

mass number A = 39

number of protons in the given atom (Z) = 19

so we will have

A = Z + N

39 = 19 + N

N = 20

kherson [118]

The function of sleep theory supported by the illustration is sleep conserves and protects.

<h3>Positive impact of sleep</h3>

From the first sentence, bats sleep a lot because they face little danger from predators and as such, they have a high-calorie diet of insects.

<h3>Negative impact of sleep</h3>

From the second sentence, cows sleep less, because they face more danger from predators and as such, they have a low-calorie diet of insects.

We can conclude that sleep helps to keep animal safe. Therefore, the correct option will be, "Sleep conserves and protects".
