makvit [3.9K]3 years ago
4 0

<u>Answer:</u> The number of neutrons in boron are 6.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or electrons that are present in a neutral atom.

Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons

Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and number of neutrons present in an atom.

Mass number = Number of neutrons + Number of protons.

We are given:

Mass number = 11

Atomic number of boron = 5

Number of neutrons = Mass number - Atomic number = 11 - 5 = 6

Hence, the number of neutrons in boron are 6.

An important Similarly between photosynthesis and cellular respiration is that both process
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

Similarity between photosynthesis and cellular respiration is that both process :

<u>Involve production of energy </u>

<u>Exchange of gases</u>

<u>Goes through electron chain reactions</u>

<u></u>

Explanation:

<u>Photosynthesis</u> : It is the process in which green plants containing chlorophyll prepare their food in the presence of Sunlight , water and carbon dioxide.This process occur inside chloroplast .

Here Food is prepared.Oxygen and food is produced as a result of photosynthesis .

<em><u>The electrons triggers the reaction of food formation</u></em>.

<em><u>Energy is released during photosynthesis.</u></em>

<em><u>Gaseous exchange between CO2 and O2 occur.</u></em>

<u>Respiration </u>:

It is the process in which living organism converts oxygen and food to water and carbon dioxide . Here energy is released in the form of ATP. It take place inside the mitochondria of the cell.

<u><em>Exchange of Gases occur between organism and environment.</em></u>

<em><u>Here , mitochondrial electron transport occurs to produce ATP</u></em>.

Hence , similarity between photosynthesis and cellular respiration is that both process:

<u>Involve production of energy </u>

<u>Exchange of gases(carbon dioxide and oxygen)</u>

<u>Goes through electron chain reactions</u>
