The atomic number of an isotope is the number of protons it contains, whereas the mass number is the total mass of the nucleus, which is the combined number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. To find the number of neutrons, you must therefore subtract the atomic number of the isotope from the mass number of the isotope.
<span>In the above example, the atomic number is 8 and the mass number is 18. This isotope is known as O18. The number of neutrons in the isotope is: Mass number - Atomic number = Number of neutrons

Food chains model energy flow through an ecosystem. Producers pump energy into an ecosystem from an environmental source, and this energy is then passed from one organism to the next.
The decline in bone breakdown and increased mineralization causes blood calcium to decrease <span>back to normal levels. This happens when there is secretion of calcitonin. This circulation calcitonin is inhibiting </span>osteoclasts<span> and it will stimulate osteoblasts within minutes. The effect of this on osteoclast will cause a decrease in reabsorption and a concurrent increase in deposition because of the osteoblasts activity.</span>
