Ions are

Biology
1 answer:
luda_lava [24]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Ions are atoms with a positive or negative charge.

Explanation:

Ions are atoms or molecules that, when subjected to the phenomenon of ionization, gain or lose electrons, ceasing to be neutral and acquiring an electric charge.

The charge that atoms or molecules possess can be positive —if it has lost electrons— or negative when it acquires electrons. The negatively charged particle is called anion, and when it is positively charged cation.

The other options are not correct because of:

  • <em>There are usually as many or more neutrons than protons. </em>
  • <em>Uncharged atoms are neutral. </em>
  • <em>The number of protons or neutrons does not affect the electric charge of the atom.</em>
  • <em>Atoms that joined in fixed proportions can form molecules.</em>

Explain why it is an advantage for plants to store carbohydrates as starch rather than as sugars​
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

More energy are packed into less space by starch molecules far more than glucose or sucrose yet they are able to release this energy easily, hence maximizing both storage and mobilization.

Explanation:

When plants have a period of dormancy to survive, they store their food as starch. They store enough of this energy so as to be able to restart with and to be able to maintain metabolism for the entire period of dormancy.

In addition, we know that starch is not water soluble, hence, lacks the ability to pull water into storage cells or cause irregularity in water balance. More energy are packed into less space by starch molecules far more than glucose or sucrose yet they are able to release this energy easily, hence maximizing both storage and mobilization.

Glucose is not directly transported by plants to storage. Rather, in a plant stem, the form of carbohydrate being transported is sucrose and this is because it is a non-reducing and does not react with oxygen during transport in the stem to specialized storage plastids.
