How do limiting factors affect individual species and populations within a community?

1 answer:

7 0

Limited factors would mean that as the population in a community grows individual species would have to compete for those limited factors as the population reaches its carrying capacity. Also, the population as a whole would only be able to reach a certain number before falling due to there not being enough of the limited factors (ex. food) for that population to continue growing exponentially.

Calculate the mass defect for oxygen-16 given this data. Round to the 5es001-1.jpg decimal place. mass of an oxygen-16 atom: 15.

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of oxygen atom = 15.994914amu

Mass of a proton = 1.00728amu

Mass of a neutron = 1.00866amu

Unknown:

Mass defect = ?

From the periodic table, the number of the elementary particles in a neutral Oxygen atom is given below:

Number of protons = 8

Number of neutrons = 8

Number of electrons = 8

Solution

The mass defect examines the difference between the actual mass of an atom and sum of masses of the nucleons.

The mass of an atom is concentrated in the nucleus which contains protons and neutrons. Electrons have little to no weight compared with the nucleons.

To calculate the mass defect, we first know the mass of the nucleons first:

1 proton has a mass of 1.00728amu

8 protons will weigh: (8 x 1.00728)amu = 8.05824amu

For the neutrons:

1 neutron has a mass of 1.00866amu

8 neutrons will weigh: (8 x 1.00866)amu = 8.06928amu

Mass of the nucleons = mass of protons + mass of neutrons

= 8.05824amu + 8.06928amu

= 16.12752amu

The mass defect = mass of the nucleons - mass of the atom

= 16.12752amu - 15.994914amu

= 0.132606amu ≅ 0.13261amu to 5 decimal places

Answer:

The prolonged exposure to cortisol hormone may cause different health problems including anxiety, depression, muscle atrophy, hypertension, metabolic problems, diabetes, myopathies, osteoporosis, etc.

Explanation:

Cortisol is a stress hormone secreted by the adrenal glands, it is a steroid hormone that is involved in diverse functions including the control of metabolic and immune responses, salt balance (blood pressure), etc. Moreover, cortisol hormone also has anti-inflammatory properties. However, prolonged exposure to stress hormones like cortisol is associated with different health problems, especially anxiety and depression.
