The scientist will add up the mass of the protons and mass of the neutrons to come up with the approximate mass of atom because protons and neutrons is what consist of the atoms. Therefore, in order to have the approximate mass of an atom, adding the mass of protons and neutrons will give the result.

Answer:

Since he has not added the mass of electrons, one of the subatomic particles.

Explanation:

An atom is made of electrons, protons, and  neutrons. Electrons have negligible mass as compared to the masses of protons and neutrons. Being the major contributor to the mass of the atom, the total mass of protons and neutrons gives the approximate mass of atoms. The exact mass of atom would be sum total of the mass of electrons, protons, and neutrons.

The Spanish Civil War is also known as The Crusade (Spanish: La Cruzada)

Soviet Union and Mexico supported the Cold War.

Select the correct answer from the drop down menu. Enzymes break down large molecules. In an experiment, a scientist adds lipase
Natalka [10]

Answer:

There are no options to this question, however, it can be answered. The answers to the blank spaces are:

1. Fatty Acids

2. A decrease in the rate of lipid breakdown

Explanation:

Lipids are large biomolecules that are formed from monomeric units called FATTY ACIDS. Digestive enzymes such as lipase as described in this question breaks down lipids into its monomer called FATTY ACIDS.

However, enzymes are proteinous molecules, meaning they are subject to denaturation when exposed to adverse conditions such as heat. According to this question, the scientist heats the enzymes and finds that it can't bind onto the lipids anymore because it has been DENATURED. This situation will result in the DECREASE IN THE RATE OF LIPID BREAKDOWN because the enzyme in charge is no longer functional.
