<u>Answer:</u> The number of neutrons an iodine element contain are 74.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Atomic number is defined as the umber of protons or number of electrons. It is represented as Z.

Atomic number = Number of protons = Number of electrons.

Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and number of neutrons. It is represented as A.

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

In the given representation, atomic number is written on the top left corner and mass number is written below the symbol of the element.

Atomic number = 53 = Number of protons

Mass number = 127 = Number of neutrons + 53

Number of neutrons = 127 - 53 = 74

Hence, the number of neutrons an iodine element contain are 74.

Facts about Intro to Muscular System, i need a lot of info

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

Skeletal muscles are the only muscles that can be consciously controlled. They are attached to bones, and contracting the muscles causes movement of those bones.Any action that a person consciously undertakes involves the use of skeletal muscles. Examples of such activities include running, chewing, and writing.

Smooth muscle lines the inside of blood vessels and organs, such as the stomach, and is also known as visceral muscle.It is the weakest type of muscle but has an essential role in moving food along the digestive tract and maintaining blood circulation through the blood vessels.Smooth muscle acts involuntarily and cannot be consciously controlled

Cardiac muscle, Located only in the heart, cardiac muscle pumps blood around the body. Cardiac muscle stimulates its own contractions that form our heartbeat. Signals from the nervous system control the rate of contraction. This type of muscle is strong and acts involuntary

The biome is a community of plants and animals (flaura & fauna).
Community: A community is a group of people/living beings who live in a specific location. It is used to describe two or more populations of different species that exist at same place.
Population: A population is the multiple individuals or living organisms of a single species that live in an area.
The populations are formed by lalrge number of groups of organisms.
Group of populations form communities. The group of all communities form a biome, which exist in the biosphere.
