The answer is <span>0.132606 amu.</span>

The mass defect (Δm) is the total mass of protons and neutrons minus the mass of the atom. 
<span>mass of an oxygen-16 atom: 15.994914 amu
mass of a proton: 1.00728 amu
mass of a neutron: 1.00866 amu
</span>
An oxygen atom has 8 protons and 8 neutrons. Therefore:
Δm = 8 · 1.00728 + 8 · 1.00866 - <span>15.994914 = 8.05824 + 8.06928 - 15.994914 = 0.132606 amu
</span>

How can the presence of one species benefit another in the same ecosystem
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

The different species present in an ecosystem make the ecosystem balanced.  The species of an ecosystem interact with one another in one form or the other. For example, the presence of a plant species will provide food for the abundant types of herbivores present in an ecosystem. A predator might feed on many types of preys. Hence, the presence of different preys will reduce the chances of a species from becoming wiped out from the ecosystem. Hence, all the organisms in an ecosystem are dependent on another in some way or the other.

vfiekz [6]

I. Each carbon atom can form single bonds with up to four other carbon atoms. II. Each carbon atom can form double bonds with up to two other carbon atoms. III. Carbon atoms can join together to form chains or rings. IV. A single molecule of some compounds can contain thousands of carbon atoms.

Answer:

All the given choices

Explanation:

Carbon is a very interesting element which is the backbone of most organic compounds.

Organic compounds are made up of carbon. Carbon forms a wide range of compound due to the following properties;

  • An atom of carbon has 4 valence electrons and can bond with 4 other carbon.
  • Carbon can form single, double and triple covalent bonds.
  • They can join together to form rings or chains.
