¿Qué se puede agregar a un átomo para hacer que un electrón sin valencia en el átomo se convierta temporalmente en un electrón d
NNADVOKAT [17]

Energía.

Explicación:

Generalmente, los electrones giran continuamente en las capas de los átomos. Si estos electrones se encuentran en las capas más externas de un átomo, se denominan electrones de valencia.

Son necesarios para las reacciones químicas de un átomo en particular con otro, a través de sus pérdidas o compartidas.

En los átomos sin valencia, sus capas más externas no tienen electrones en sus capas más externas, tales átomos son estables.

Sin embargo, si se suministra cierta cantidad de energía a dicho átomo, el electrón gana energía y, por lo tanto, se excita.

Por lo tanto, se mueven de niveles de energía más bajos a niveles de energía más altos, y hacen que el átomo sin valencia se convierta en valencia temporalmente, a medida que se mueven hacia la capa más externa.

Answer:

Energy.

Explanation:

Generally, electrons revolves continuously in the shells of  atoms.if these electrons are located in the outer most shells of an atom,they are refereed to as the Valence electrons.

They are needed for chemical reactions of a particular atom with another,through their loses or sharing.

In Non -valence atoms their outermost shells do not have electrons at their outermost shells,such atoms are stable.

However, if  certain quantity of energy is supplied  to  such atom, the electron  gains energy and therefore becomes excited.

They therefore move from lower energy levels to higher energy levels,and makes the non- valence atom becomes valence temporarily, as they move into the outermost shell.

What genes direct the
Valentin [98]

Answer:

a. hox genes.

Explanation:

HOX genes have the following functions:

  • HOX genes are the homeobox subset.
  • They specify the areas of the embryo's body plan along the animal head-tail axis.
  • They are encoding Hox proteins that specify the position characteristics and ensure that the right structures form at the right position in the body.
  • They regulate high-level executive genes, such as transcription factors and intracellular signaling molecules, which adhere, number, form, and growth to cells.

The vertebrates are highly preserved.

The clusters and other genes occur uninterrupted.

Evolutionary, the heterogeneous regulatory areas between the genes most previously present are larger and more preserved than those present at the other ends of the clusters.

The characteristical feature is that these are homeodomain proteins with a highly preserved area of DNA binding encoded with homeobox gens.

Describe the relationship between genes, proteins, chromosomes, and cells.
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Genes are segments of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) that contain the code for a specific protein that functions in one or more types of cells in the body. Chromosomes are structures within cells that contain a person's genes. Genes are contained in chromosomes, which are in the cell nucleus.

Temperature and kinetic energy are ___________ proportional.
Natali5045456 [20]

Directly

Explanation:

The average kinetic energy of a gas particle is directly proportional to the temperature. An increase in temperature increases the speed in which the gas molecules move. All gases at a given temperature have the same average kinetic energy.
