Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A nuclear particle which is positively charged is known as an alpha particle. An alpha particle is emitted during a radioactive decay.

Mass of an alpha particle is similar to mass of a helium atom, that is why, a helium atom is also known as an alpha particle.

Therefore, an alpha particle is denoted as ^{4}_{2}He. That is, there are 2 protons and 2 neutrons in an alpha particle.

Thus, we can conclude that an alpha particle is identical to the nucleus of a helium atom.

Answer;

-Helium atom

Explanation;

-An alpha particle is identical to the nucleus of a helium atom.

-Alpha particle is one type of particles emitted during a radioactive decay, others being gamma and beta particles. Alpha particles are produced during the process of alpha decay.

-When an alpha particle is generated during a radioactive decay, the mass number of the radioactive particle increases by 2 while the atomic number increases by 4.

allochka39001 [22]
ovary

These oocytes are formed during the early development of the person, it is together formed in the embryonic stage of development.

In puberty, these oocytes have now been mature thus, the individual is ready for her first menstruation, it takes time before these oocytes are fully developed but they are formed as early as the state of the genitalia, brain, body was formed.

Explain why glucose consumption must increase in hypoxic tissues to provide the same amount of ATP that could be produced from g
slega [8]

Answer: B. In hypoxic tissues, in contrast to normoxic tissues, ATP is additionally consumed to transform lactate to pyruvate

Explanation:

In hypoxic tissues such as new cancerous cells, the vascular system is still underdeveloped, thus oxygen supply is reduced. To meet energy need, additional glucose is needed to convert lactate (result of anaerobic glycolysis) to pyruvate which can then go into the TCA cycle to yield energy. This phenomenon is very common in muscle tissues during exercise.

What is a ribosome?
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option C- A structure upon which proteins are assembled.

Explanation:

A ribosome is a complex molecule machine formed of proteins and rRNA molecules which acts as a site for the synthesis of the proteins.

These ribosomes are present in the cell as a free entity suspended in the cytosol or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum.

Each ribosome is made up of a large and small component which translates the information coded in the mRNA in the form of codons to amino acids which join to form proteins.

Thus, option- C is the correct answer.
