It's often helpful to draw a diagram showing the energy levels for the particular element you're interested in. The diagram for hydrogen is shown above.

The n = 1 state is known as the ground state, while higher n states are known as excited states. If the electron in the atom makes a transition from a particular state to a lower state, it is losing energy. To conserve energy, a photon with an energy equal to the energy difference between the states will be emitted by the atom.

Consider the photon emitted when an electron drops from the n=4 to the n=2 state to the photon emitted when an electron drops from n=3 to n=2. Which photon has the longer wavelength?

The photon emitted in the n=4 to n=2 transition
The photon emitted in the n=3 to n=2 transition
The smaller the energy the longer the wavelength. The photon has a smaller energy for the n=3 to n=2 transition.

In the hydrogen atom, with Z = 1, the energy of the emitted photon can be found using:

E = (13.6 eV) [1/nf2 - 1/ni2]

Atoms can also absorb photons. If a photon with an energy equal to the energy difference between two levels is incident on an atom, the photon can be absorbed, raising the electron up to the higher level.

List tim''s symptoms and identify the organ system (or specific organ) associated with those symptoms. (your may need to referen
pantera1 [17]
1. Tim's symptoms include deteriorated coordination, stamina and school performance, nausea, painful joints and an abnormal increase in growth rate. His personality also changed which manifested as depressive mood, introversion, anxiety and tension. These symptoms could indicate an endocrinological problem, therefore the organ system which could be associated with them is the thyroid gland.

2. The thyroid gland is an organ of the endocrine system which is located in the neck, behind Adam's apple. It regulates metabolism, protein synthesis and development. It does so by producing a number of hormones: calcitonin, thyroxine and triiodothyronine. The two thyroid hormones (thyroxine and triiodothyronine) regulate the body's metabolism by controlling the way cells produce and consume energy.

3. Hyperthyroidism is an endocrine condition in which there is an overproduction of thyroid hormones by the thyroid gland. Under these conditions, the thyroid gland proves to be overactive and the main symptom is the acceleration of the metabolism. Tim's sudden increase of growth rate and inability to gain weight, along with his nervousness and mood swings, and his fatigue and loss of energy could indicate a problem of hyperthyroidism.

4. Cortisol is a steroid hormone which is produced by the thyroid gland. It is often called as the "stress hormone" as it is released in response to a stressful situation. It is also released in response to low blood glucose concentration. Some of cortisol's functions are the increase in blood sugar, the suppression of the immune system and bone formation. Cortisol is also involved in the metabolism of macronutrients.

The following image shows a cell before and during the process of mitosis. Before it undergoes mitosis, the cell contains 2n chr
svlad2 [7]

The correct answer is B: The cells will have 2n chromosomes and be diploid.

Diploid cell have two of each chromosome, one from each parent. When diploid cell undergoes mitosis, the result is two identical diploid cells (when haploid cell undergoes mitosis the result is haploid cell). This means that during the mitosis, cells reproduce genetically identical copies of themselves.
