Answer:

H2S.

Explanation:

Ions may be defined as the element that contains either positive or negative charge over them. Two types of ions are cations and anions. The outermost electrons are involved in the formation of ions.

The atomic number of sulfur is 16. Its outermost electronic configuration is K=2, L= 8, M= 6. The sulfur requres two more electrons to complete its orbit and accquire -2 charge.

H        S

+1        -2

Then, the formula will be H2S.

Thus, the correct answer is option (c).

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

C) Effector – Analyzes receptor output to determine if a controlled condition is correctly maintained.

Explanation:

  • Effector does not analyze receptor output to determine if a controlled condition is correctly maintained. Effector just receive commands from control center and follow them.
  • Control center analyze receptor output to determine if a controlled condition is correctly maintained.

Example; The temperature receptors detect the change in temperature (high temperature), they send the information to control center ( hypothalamus) to analyze the information and the control center send the command to blood vessels to dilate and active the sweat glands.

What would require more land to grow food crops? If all humans ate only vegetables
jasenka [17]

Answer:

If all humans ate only meat, will require more land to grow food crops

Explanation:

1) Currently, over 60% of the world food crops are eaten by animals. Given that food crops are generally consumed more than meat in a proportion of 8:1, if all humans ate only meat, the amount of land required to grow food crops will have to be increased by at least 400%

2) Presently, animal agriculture makes use of 70% of lands allocated to agriculture, such that increasing the livestock by an extra 400% will lead to mass deforestation in order to produce livestock feeds

3) It is more costlier to produce livestock than to produce crops, which will make the availability and allocation of land essential for the raising of livestock in order to reduce costs, thereby taking more land.

Why is it important that nadp+ reductase is on the stromal side of the thylakoid membrane?
mina [271]
It is important that the FNR or Nadp+reductase enzyme is on the stromal side or covering of the plant's Thylakoid membrane because they participate in photosynthesis. NADPH cycling can only be achieved with light and cannot operate in the dark and stromal side provides the needed light.
