Answer: Electrons jump from you to the handle.

Explanation: By walking on carpet, friction causes the rubber in your shoes to pick up electrons and then when you touch a metal doorknob you will feel a shock as the <u>electrons jump from your body into the doorknob.</u>

Answer: Electrons from the door handle jump onto you.

→ Remember, only electrons can be shared, so there is no way protons nor neutrons could "jump" onto you.


Why exactly does this happen?

When you walk through the carpet, you get charged, because of the friction  caused by your shoes while walking. So, when you get charged, the electrons on the door handle interact with you.



Hope it helped,

When a human red blood cell is placed in a hypotonic environment (like distilled water), it will
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

C shrink

Explanation:

a hypertonic solution has more solutes than the intracellular environment, so water will leave the cell to try to achieve equilibrium. If enough water is lost, the cell will take on a wrinkled or shriveled appearance. In red blood cells this is called crenation and the surface of the cells take on a scalloped appearance. A high amount of water loss can be damaging or even fatal for a cell.

Elina [12.6K]

Dextrose and fructose are both types of sugar. the sugar with the best flavor. plenty of whole grains. the starch. called milk sugar.

It is also found naturally in other plant foods such as honey, sugar beets, sugar cane, and vegetables.  Fructose is the  sweetest naturally occurring carbohydrate, 1.2 to 1.8 times more  sweeter than sucrose (table sugar). is the sweetness of Fructose metabolism does not require insulin and has little effect on blood sugar levels.  There are many different types of sugar, some  more common than others. Fructose, like glucose, is a type of sugar known as a simple sugar or "simple sugar". Monosaccharides can be combined to form disaccharides, the most common of which is sucrose, or "sugar." Sucrose is made up of 50% fructose and 50% glucose. Fructose and glucose have the same chemical formula (C6H12O6), but due to their different molecular structures,  fructose is 1.2 to 1.8 times sweeter than sucrose. In fact, fructose is the sweetest natural carbohydrate.

In nature, fructose is most commonly found as a component of sucrose. Fructose is also found in plants as a simple sugar, but that doesn't mean other sugars don't exist.
