Answer: Scientists use the term bioenergetics to describe the concept of energy flow (Figure 4.2) through living systems, such as cells. Cellular processes such as the building and breaking down of complex molecules occur through stepwise chemical reactions. Some of these chemical reactions are spontaneous and release energy, whereas others require energy to proceed. Just as living things must continually consume food to replenish their energy supplies, cells must continually produce more energy to replenish that used by the many energy-requiring chemical reactions that constantly take place. Together, all of the chemical reactions that take place inside cells, including those that consume or generate energy, are referred to as the cell’s metabolism.
Answer:
Explanation: The chemical reaction is written by writing down the chemical formulas of the reactants on the left hand side and the chemical formulas of products on the right hand side separated by a right arrow.
This is a single displacement reaction in which a more reactive element displaces the less reactive element from its salt solution. Thus sodium is more reactive than Mg and thus displaces it from
.

The number of atoms of each element must be same on both sides of the reaction so as to follow the law of conservation of mass.
Thus the equation is balanced.
Answer:
The number of positive charges in nucleus of an atoms are equal to the atomic number and also positive charges are equal to the negative charges which are electrons in neutral atom.
Explanation:
An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.
Electron:
The electron is subatomic particle that revolve around outside the nucleus and has negligible mass. It has a negative charge.
Symbol= e⁻
Mass= 9.10938356×10⁻³¹ Kg
It was discovered by j. j. Thomson in 1897 during the study of cathode ray properties.
Neutron and proton:
Neutron and proton are present inside the nucleus. Proton has positive charge while neutron is electrically neutral. Proton is discovered by Rutherford while neutron is discovered by James Chadwick in 1932.
Symbol of proton= P⁺
Symbol of neutron= n⁰
Mass of proton=1.672623×10⁻²⁷ Kg
Mass of neutron=1.674929×10⁻²⁷ Kg
All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons. The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom while the number of protons are number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.
For example
The carbon have six protons and six neutrons so its atomic mass is 12 amu and atomic number is six.
