<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Binding energy = 123.4 MeV

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • The O-16 nucleus has a mass of 15.9905 amu, A proton has a mass of 1.00727 amu,a neutron has a mass of 1.00866 amu, and 1 amu is equivalent to 931 MeV of energy.
  • The oxygen isotope with 16 nucleons has 8 protons and 8 neutrons, so Z=8 and A=16.

Therefore;

<em>Proton mass: 1.00727 amu x 8 = 8.05816 amu </em>

<em>Neutron mass: 1.00866 amu x 8 = 8.06928 amu </em>

<em>Total                                               =  16.12744 amu </em>

<em>Mass defect = 16.12744 amu -15.9949 amu</em>

<em>                      = 0.1325 amu </em>

<em>Binding energy = 0.1325 amu x 931 MeV/amu</em>

<em>                           = </em><u><em>123.4 MeV</em></u>

Why do some cells make food molecules?
kvasek [131]

Answer:

All living cells release energy from food  molecules through cellular breathing and/or fermentation. Some cells make food molecules using light energy through the process of (making food from light).

Making food from light- Photosynthesis

Breathing- Respiration

All living units give out power for a given time from food small complex units through formed of small units breathing and or fermentation. Some units make food small complex units using light power for a given time through the process of (making food from light).
