Answer:

D- 8 protons, 8 neutrons, 8 electrons

Explanation:

A neutral atom is one in which the number of negative charges balances the number of positive charges.

<em>Positive charge component of atom is the proton</em>

<em>Negative charge component of an atom is the electron.</em>

Hence, for a neutral atom, number of proton = number of electron

Also, number of proton in an element = atomic number of the element

<em>Oxygen has atomic number of 8. Hence the number of proton is also equal to 8. In addition, since proton number = electron number for a neutral atom, the number of electron is also equal to 8.</em>

The correct answer is D.

As women age, many experience an increased sense of urgency to void, as well as an increased risk of incontinence. this is usual
ad-work [718]

As women age, many experiences an increased sense of urgency to void, as well as an increased risk of incontinence. This is usually the result of age-related changes in the bladder.

Incontinence is the inability to regulate urination, which can range from a minor leak of pee after laughing, sneezing, or coughing to a full lack of bladder control. Numerous conditions, such as urinary tract infections, vaginal infections or irritations, or constipation, can cause incontinence. Some drugs have the potential to induce momentary bladder control issues. Weak pelvic floor muscles or a weak bladder may be to blame for incontinence that lasts longer.

The bladder wall may stiffen with age and lose some of its capacity to store pee. You lose some of your ability to hold it. Additionally, you might need to urinate more frequently and be more likely to get urinary tract infections. Bladder control concerns, such as leakage or urinary incontinence (inability to contain pee), or urinary retention are among the kidney and bladder issues that are more likely to develop as we age (not being able to completely empty your bladder) infections of the bladder and other urinary tracts (UTIs)

Which factor distinguishes the experimental group from the control group
AysviL [449]
A control group is sort of the normal group. The group you aren't changing or messing with. It is to show what the species/experiment acts like on its own in response to something without you having to change it at all. 

With an experimental group, you are changing something about the subject before putting it in the conditions it will need to respond to. 

I don't entirely understand, but I know the control group is constant, unchanging. It sort of helps with distinguishing things. I have examples of experiments if that will help you understand what a control group is to answer the question. I also have a The Death Cure example if you have seen or read the book. I hope you do not fail this assignment, but even if I did not answer with an answer you were looking for, it could have helped you answer the question on your own. 

I saw somewhere a similar question, though I was given the answer choices. If this is the answer you are looking for: variable(s).

Control groups don't use variables because you aren't changing them.
