also known as heavy hydrogen) is one of two stable isotopes of hydrogen (the other being protium, or hydrogen-1). The nucleus of deuterium, called a deuteron, contains one proton and one neutron, whereas the far more common protium has no neutron in the nucleus.

Answer:

A. a nucleus of one proton and one neutron, which is orbited by one electron.

Explanation:

Isotopes have the same atomic number and different mass number. The atomic number is the numbers of protons in the nucleus and defines each element while the mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.

An hydrogen atom with a mass number of two means that its nucleus has one proton and one neutron because the atomic number of hydrogen is 1, otherwise it wouldn’t be hydrogen, so it has 1 proton and to complete the mass number of two it must have 1 neutron.

On the other hand, the atomic model says that the nucleus is orbited by electrons. The number of electrons orbiting the nucleus is given by the atomic number. Then an atomic number of 1 means that 1 electron orbits the nucleus with one proton.

Answer:

Warm front

Explanation:

A warm front forms when a warm air mass pushes into a cooler air mass, shown in the image to the right (A). Warm fronts often bring stormy weather as the warm air mass at the surface rises above the cool air mass, making clouds and storms. Warm fronts move more slowly than cold fronts because it is more difficult for the warm air to push the cold, dense air across the Earth's surface. Warm fronts often form on the east side of low-pressure systems where warmer air from the south is pushed north.

You will often see high clouds like cirrus, cirrostratus, and middle clouds like altostratus ahead of a warm front. These clouds form in the warm air that is high above the cool air. As the front passes over an area, the clouds become lower, and rain is likely. There can be thunderstorms around the warm front if the air is unstable.

On weather maps, the surface location of a warm front is represented by a solid red line with red, filled-in semicircles along it, like in the map on the right (B). The semicircles indicate the direction that the front is moving. They are on the side of the line where the front is moving. Notice on the map that temperatures at ground level are cooler in front of the front than behind it.

How many carbon dioxide molecules must be added to rubp to make a single molecule of glucose?
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

6 carbon dioxide molecules

Explanation:

The Calvin cycle generates the necessary reactions for the fixation of carbon in a solid structure for the formation of glucose and, in turn, regenerates the molecules for the continuation of the cycle.

The Calvin cycle is also known as the dark phase of photosynthesis or also called the carbon fixation phase. It is known as the dark phase because it is not light dependent as is the first phase or light phase .

This second stage of photosynthesis fixes the carbon of the absorbed carbon dioxide and generates the precise number of biochemical elements and processes necessary to produce sugar and recycle the remaining material for continuous production.

The Calvin cycle uses the energy produced in the light phase of photosynthesis to fix the carbon dioxide (CO2) carbon in a solid structure such as glucose, in order to generate energy.

The glucose molecule composed of a six-carbon main structure will be further processed in glycolysis for the preparatory phase of the Krebs cycle, both part of the cellular respiration.

The Calvin cycle produces in six turns a six-carbon glucose molecule and regenerates three RuBP that will be catalyzed again by the RuBisCo enzyme with CO2 molecules for the restart of the Calvin cycle.

The Calvin cycle requires six molecules of CO2, 18 ATP and 12 NADPH produced in the light phase of photosynthesis to produce a glucose molecule and regenerate three RuBP molecules.
