Answer:
B. 18
Explanation:
An atom, which is the smallest indivisible particle of matter, further contains certain particles called SUB-ATOMIC PARTICLES namely: proton, neutron and electron. In a neutral/uncharged atom, the number of proton is equal to the number of electrons. The number of protons in an atom represent its ATOMIC NUMBER.
However, the sum of the proton number and neutron number gives the MASS NUMBER i.e. mass no. = proton no. + electron no.
Hence, according to this question which states that an atom has an atomic number of 17 and a mass number of 35. The neutron no. can be calculated as follows:
Neutron no. = mass no. - proton no.
Neutron no. = 35 - 17
Neutron no. = 18

Answer:
Botulism toxin disrupts motor control <u>by blocking the release of acetylcholine by motor neurons. </u>
Explanation:
Acetylcholine is the principal neurotransmitter in motor neurons. If there is no release of acetylcholine from the presynaptic motor neuron, the ion channels will not open. If the ion channels do not open, Na+ cannot enter the postsynaptic membrane to start an action potential. As a result, the muscle can not move.
The ion channels have a specif receptor for acetylcholine. When acetylcholine binds to the receptors, the channels open. With the ion channels open, Na+ can enter the postsynaptic membrane to start an action potential. This does not happen in the presence of botulism toxin since it blocks the release of acetylcholine.
Answer: sporophytes photosynthesise, particularly when immature, but depend on gametophytes for at least 50% of nutrient requirements
Explanation: In mosses, the gametophyte generation is the dominant generation unlike in higher plants. The diploid sporophyte generation produces several spores per capsule.
Explanation:
Cephalopods are organisms tha belong to the class Cephalopoda, which is composed by squids, octopus and nautilus.
The options we have are squids, jellyfish and cuttlefish. The two last ones do not belong to the Cephalopoda class, and also do not have the characteristics to be considered one.
Answer:
A.
