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>

1. Increased efforts to conserve areas such as rain forests are necessary in order to
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

1. Protect biodiversity

2. An indicator species

3. Biomagnification

4. Cutting down all the trees for lumber

5. Bioaccumulation

Explanation:

1. Conserving areas such as rain forests protect biodiversity because rain forests hold one of the highest biodiversity. They carry different types of resources that support different forms of life and at the same time, the organisms that live there support each other as well.

2. An indicator species is an organism that scientists can observe to see if there are changes in the environment it lives in. They judge the change or the implications based on the absence of the species in the environment (in which they used to be present), the presence of the species, and markers of adaptation due to the change in the ecosystem.

3. Biomagnification is a term used when contaminants that were consumed by the organisms in the lower trophic level are passed on to the next trophic level in higher concentrations. This is why those in the highest trophic levels are affected the most because they get the higher concentration of contaminants. DDT was banned when this phenomena was observed.

4. The greatest decrease in rain forest stability would be due to the cutting of trees. We can disrupt stability by gathering resources like nuts from some trees or when you remove one species of plant for medicine. However, the trees are an essential part of the rain forest because each part or area of the tree support different organisms. By cutting the whole trees off and several of them, you doom the organisms that rely on them as well.

5. As mentioned above, bioaccumulation is often interchanged with biomagnification but they differ in the usage of the terms. Like biomagnification, it talks about the accumulation of contaminants in organisms that ingest or absorb them. But bioaccumulation is a term used in a smaller scale, where it talks about the accumulation of the contimants in the tissues of the organism and not how they are passed on.

Item 5 What is the role of a generator in producing electricity? The generator stores electrical energy for later use in homes a
Anni [7]

Answer:

The generator transforms the mechanical energy of the turbine into electrical energy

Explanation:

Electricity generator is a device that is used in generating power supply which can be used in industries, homes and for commercial and private purposes.

It operates by converting mechanical energy into electrical energy for the use in an external circuit. mechanical energy can be obtained from steam turbines, internal combusting energy, gas and water turbines and it can be obtained through the rotating shaft.

The capacity of each generator determines the amount of energy it can supply to a given place.
