This image shows a stream of positively charged particles being directed at gold foil. The positively charged particles are call

ed "alpha particles” and each one is like a nucleus without any electrons.
A laser source is shining red light onto a surface. Some bounces back at anges Some go straight through and some go through at an angle in both directions from the original path.
What is the best explanation for why a particle is striking point X?

a.) Alpha particles are mostly empty space, so they move in random directions, and one of these alpha particles can strike point X.
b.) The gold atoms contain negative electrons, so when alpha particles strike the gold they keep moving but in various directions.
c.) If an alpha particle hits the gold foil, a gold nucleus splits and a particle from it flies out at point X.
d.) When the dense, positive alpha particle passes close to a positive nucleus of gold, the alpha particle repels and hits the screen at point X.

If glucose is not the energy of the cell, what is? how does glucose relate to this?
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

Adenosine triphoshate(ATP) is the energy currency of the cell.

Explanation:

Glucose is the Stored energy which is formed by the Glycogen. At the time when the energy is required glycogen is converted into glucose while, ATP is the energy which is ready to use. In aerobic conditions, Glucose produces about 30 ATP molecules. ATP molecule consists of HIGH ENERGY PHOSPHATE BONDS which are broken down when energy is required.

Softa [21]

Plate tectonic induced changes in the sea level could increase the total percentage of land area upto 40% or decrease it to as low as 17%

<h3>What are Tectonic plates?</h3>

Plate tectonics, whose name derives from the Late Latin tectonicus and the Ancient Greek letter v, which means "pertaining to building," According to the widely accepted scientific idea , the Earth's lithosphere is made up of many major tectonic plates that have been gently shifting for nearly 3.4 billion years

The model is based on the idea of continental drift, which was created in the early 20th century. After seafloor spreading was confirmed in the mid- to late 1960s, plate tectonics became largely accepted by geoscientists.
